I'm actually in 2nd on Helena Beat!

NO ONE PLAY IT!!!! I want that poster dammit!!

[Bront20]

So far, only 1 song I haven't had out of 9. Can't complain here.

Aw I don't have Helena Beat and don't really want to buy that song. good luck malkieriking!

Played the other two songs at least. Don't know how my Always score will hold up.

Goddammit, Zage! Let us have this one!!

That Helena Beat chart seems like it should score a lot more than we do. On the other hand, monster run on AJGW Zage. I came within 500 of my score again tonight, but I only have 35 plays on it so far. It took about 100 runs of Party Hard to get a good score on that, so I'll grind some more on that.

Also, does HMX really like people named Helena for some reason? 2 songs in 3 weeks in the tournament involving a Helena. Maybe it's a shoutout to Montana, I don't know.

I don't think I will ever be able to beat my score on AJFW again lol. I've done that on a few songs but it's rare. Helena Beat is a pain and no matter how good I think I'm doing I usually end up around 560-590k every time. For Always I have to mute my TV because I seriously can't play that song thank to Tom Delonge awful singing in that one, and I usually like blink 182.

Looking at the setup there's: 1 Blitz song, 1 new song and 1 old song (new and old in terms of when they were released for RB). The new song starts from the Elton John week and then has a song which was released each week that had DLC afterwards, look:

Elton John - "Don't Let the Sun Go Down On Me" (December 18th 2012)
My Chemical Romance - "Helena" (December 25th 2012)
Andrew W.K. - "Party Hard" (December 30th 2012, would have been January 1st 2013 if not for new years holiday)
Foster the People - "Helena Beat" (January 8th 2013 as part of Foster the People 01, was released as a single on July 24th 2012)

All of these were also the songs which have sold the best each week so by this logic the new song next week will be:
Rick Springfield - "I've Done Everything For You" ("Jessie's Girl" sold the best but that's a Blitz song)

Good job clintp16 for beating ketchupyoshi57 and my score on Always..on the very first day that you played Rock Band Blitz.

[You can check clintp16's Rock Band Blitz Achievements. He gold star'd his first song on the same day he posted that 730k on Always.]

It was bound to happen that someone would do this. He's also linked to that Ev Taylor guy.

EDIT: nevermind that guy is just Ev Taylor

So people are buying multiple copies of the game just to win at tournaments? How does that not break the TOS :P.
