Harmonix’s reached a milestone of 500 downloadable tracks available for Rock Band thanks to a baker’s dozen of No Doubt hits. Impressive, eh? Can it possibly reach 5,000 this year? MTV thinks it might. https://kotaku.com/no-doubt-about-rock-bands-next-batch-of-dlc-5103174 According to a report from Billboard, the owner of Harmonix says “as many as 5,000” songs could be available for download. You’re right. That is insane.
riches777 Surely it’s a misprint. Heh, right Billboard?(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); Not necessarily. Just don’t count on it. One Harmonix rep responded to the claims that the Rock Band
catalog would increase tenfold by saying “‘As many as 5,000’ is not a guarantee, but it sounds nice, doesn’t it? [It’s] not totally outside the realm of possibility either. Remember when people said that we’d never see 500 tracks by the end of 2008?”
I don’t remember saying that, but for arguments sake, let’s say I did. Now I’ll say that you’ll never reach
5,000 tracks by 2010. Now, we wait patiently for me to be gloriously wrong. Thanks for the heads up, Noble! Update: Looks like Billboard interpreted a quote from Harmonix CEO Alex Rigopulos very liberally. Rigopulos recently told Ars Technica: “That said, one of the great promises of the catalog moving forward, as the

H25 
or whatever in the coming years, is that we’re going to be less constrained from a genre standpoint, and I think you will see us starting to branch out into… whether it’s country or R&B and jazz or funk, or things of that sort.” Looks like I’m right again! Huzzah! Music, video-game industries continue to harmonize [Yahoo!/Billboard]
