Sony announced the release of SingStar Pop vol. 2, the follow-up to SingStar Pop, exclusively for the PlayStation 2. The latest installment to the SingStar franchise features more of PlayStation fans’ favorite songs with an all-new lineup of 30 songs from chart-topping pop artists like Maroon 5, Avril Lavigne, Gwen Stefani, Fergie and Rihanna.

Developed by Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studio’s London Studio, SingStar Pop vol. 2 is available both as a stand-alone disc and packaged with two high-quality USB microphones. As in previous SingStar titles, SingStar Pop vol. 2 provides an interactive social singing experience by incorporating technology that recognizes pitch, tone and rhythm to accurately score players as they perform to the original recordings and real videos from popular artists.

Hours of fun and ideal for entertaining-at-home, SingStar Pop vol. 2 allows players to perform as solo singing icons in single-player mode or share the spotlight with friends in multiplayer modes, including cooperative Duet Mode, one-on-one Battle Mode and the team-based Pass-the-Mic. Players also can easily access any of the song lists from the SingStar PlayStation 2 catalogue with the disc swap feature which allows seamless transition between titles.

SingStar Pop vol. 2 isn’t the only title that SingStar fans have to look forward to this fall as two new additional PlayStation 2 installments will release in October. SingStar Country will make its PlayStation 2 debut with a strong line-up of songs from today’s newest and hottest country artists including Kenny Chesney, Gretchen Wilson, Kellie Pickler and many others. SingStar Legends also will take center stage with a mix of celebrated artists including Tina Turner, Marvin Gaye and Nirvana.

In addition, SingStar for the PLAYSTATION 3 will be expanding its catalogue in October with SingStar Vol.2 for the PS3 system featuring a variety of today’s popular artists including Eminem, Radiohead, Paramore, Pink and more.
