SongPop


SongPop 1 is a head-to-head music trivia game. The free app was released in May 2012 by FreshPlanet, a venture-backed, NYC–based startup. It is available for iOS, Android, Windows, and Facebook. By 2015, the app had been downloaded 100 million times.
In July 2015, SongPop 2, featuring over 100,000 songs and 1,000 curated playlists, was released. SongPop 2 is free-to-play with in-app purchases.

Gameplay

The game is played much like the popular TV show Name That Tune. After selecting a themed playlist, five songs are played. Players compete against each other to be the first to select the correct song title or artist from a choice of four. iTunes links are provided for each song. In SongPop 2, users can play alone for the first time, competing against a computer-controlled opponent.

Interface

SongPop asks players to choose the name of a song or the artist of the song, with a four option multiple choice interface. The faster a player guesses, the more points they get. Players can remove two songs by using song note chips.

Critical reaction

SongPop 1 was awarded Best Facebook Game 2012, Social Gaming People's Voice Winner 2013, and Best Online Game 2013 by the British Academy Games Awards.
Songs may include explicit lyrics. For this reason, iTunes rates the game 12+ and is rated 16+ by Common Sense Media.
Soon after its release, Mark Zuckerberg posted on Facebook "Song Pop is one of the most fun Facebook games I've played in a while."
