PLAYING GUIDE:
Popscene divides the music making process into entertainment (represented by stars) and artistry (represented by hearts). As in real life, popular music is more likely to shoot up the charts and draw fans - but without substance, the success may be short-lived. Each of the game's many artists has the following attributes that influence this process:
- POPULARITY is the artist's ability to draw fans to entertaining content.
- REPUTATION is their ability to draw fans to artistic content.
- PERFORMANCE is their ability to perform entertaining songs live.
- TALENT is their ability to perform artistic songs live.
- PRODUCTION is their ability to compose entertaining music.
- WRITING is their ability to compose artistic music.
- HAPPINESS is the pleasure they currently get from their work.
- ATTITUDE indicates how likely they are to either contribute or cause trouble.
Each week, depending on the size of your team and their collective attitude, new songs may be recorded. Each member of the team contributes their score to a new song, and whoever scores the highest will be credited with making it. Members who are dedicated backstage staff will contribute twice instead of once - increasing the chances of a good song being written.
Once songs exist, it is the on-stage performers who must bring it to life. As with writing, each band member on stage contributes their score and the highest determines how well the song was received in each category. This time, it is the "frontman" who gets to contribute twice instead of once - so consider who is at the forefront.
The overall rating for a show is the average of all the songs performed - albeit slightly more generous so that perfection is not required. This is also true of album reviews. A 5-star performance may consist of consistent 4-star contributions. Reviews are where your performances feed back into the stats that produced them, because each attribute will rise or fall to reflect what just happened.
When booking venues, you must consider how much it will cost versus how much you are likely to recoup. Tickets are sold at $5 per song so it depends how long your set is. You will receive a percentage of this revenue, and must then use that to pay your employees and any other expenses. Singles are sold at $1 each whereas albums are sold at $1 per song for a maximum of $10. If you have a week of inactivity, you may find that you make a loss because of the expenses of your lifestyle (which reflects your wealth).
I regret there is more to this game than I could ever explain here, so enjoy figuring some things out for yourself!

This game always makes my phone freeze
S$$$@
Whenever I play this game, after awhile it makes my phone freeze. There is something wrong with the game. It is only games from MDickie that do that. Do not download any of their games. It will damage your smart phone.

This IS AN AWESOME APP But it needs a serious Update I Have a lot of money in Game and there should be things you could Buy with that money Also Just like in the real music industry rappers not all the time make diss tracks they actually fight since Most of the games are fighting Games There should be a way you could settle your beef if instead of seeing who the best Is Between the two artist by preforming Songs they should just be able to fight. Also you should be able to have a girlfriend and ETC Buy clothing it’s a lot more that this great app can do and I know it is possible Thanks For the Great App Still playing All of your games in 2018 ??❤️❤️

It’s aright. Not a lot I can do in the game but wait for the whole song to be over or skip it which I don’t know if that effects you at all. The music the game comes with is cheesy and stupid. But I guess thats what you have to do to avoid copyright. But to the people who don’t know what a mp3 is. Just. Wow. It’s the library of music on your phone. Get it right.
You can’t beat Mat Dickie in Court

So I love this game a lot and I used to play it. After I started racking up money (1 million, 10 million, 58 million) I had a court case against Mat Dickie. I have won all my cases and I know that you can refresh the app to not lose. But when I did that for the 10th I time I started to wonder if it is even impossible to beat Mat Dickie in any of his games. Not cool Mat not cool.
