About Popscene (Music Industry Sim)
This music industry sim has gone platinum - celebrating over 1 MILLION downloads!
Bring your MP3 collection to life with animated performances as you embark on a career in music. Form your own band by recruiting talent from over 150 artists across 6 unique labels, or enjoy creating your own stars with the editor. Then record hits that will top the charts and take them on the road to over 20 different venues - including authentic reviews and news reports that determine your legacy. Like "A Rockstar At My Hamster" for the 21st century, Popscene leaves no stone unturned to do for music what Wrestling Revolution did for wrestling! The game is free to download, with the option to purchase a "backstage pass" for even more content.
* Please note that the MP3 player function may not be compatible with some devices. If this affects you, consider turning off MP3 music in the options.
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.
This is a band management sim, and as a band manager it is your job to recruit stars from the music biz. 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 - inc 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 (cha-ching!). 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). On the independent scene, you take a larger chunk of lower revenue so you will have to migrate to a major label eventually.
I regret there is more to this game than I could ever explain here, so enjoy figuring some things out for yourself! Or join the debate over at Facebook to have any curious questions answered:

Feb 23, 2020 By jasonrp6I’m a huge fan of all of your games! This one especially, but I feel like it has so much untapped potential, first off I feel like you should work on making a massive update to the game so that money is actually able to be spent on things like cars and such and you should transfer it from what it is now to a game set in a neighborhood or some kind of setting where like you can buy different houses and when you want to make a new song you can physically GO to your studio in the car that you BUY for yourself with your career earnings. Aside from that I wish you would fix the MP3 crashing issue because despite the game music being straight heat, I’d love to be able to use my own music. Thanks for taking the time out of your day to read this and I hope that you consider my proposals :) more -
Pls update !!!
May 2, 2021 By imjusttrynagetfreestuffI want to say that, this game is amazing, no doubt. But it can be way better, if you can update it and add more things, like all the things artists can do in real life, like interviews, photoshoots and other things that would be cool !!! Also if you can update the faces and hair, you know like the faces and hair we have in survival and super city? If you can add that it’d be amazing...but also, I just want to say that this game is fun for awhile but in honesty there’s not much you can do...yeah i make a song it gets top 10 (my highest for a single is #6) then i get signed to epic talent or another label, then i release my album it gets top ten as well (my highest for an album is #3) then I do some shows, get sued and almost dropped from my label, then it gets boring and i don’t play for a month...i’m just telling that it would be funner if you added more things and I’d never stop playing ❤️ more -
Awesome Game but please update it!
Sep 18, 2020 By Fountain_pen_aesthetxcThis is a very fun game if your bored and stuff but like it’s too repetitive and needs some updates, hopefully you put all the suggestions I have one by one (take ur time): 1. Make a different chart for albums and singles 2. Allow for promo to affect a singles chart position 3. Instead of using sales for the chart positions for the singles, make a point system instead like from the billboard hot 100 charts, like points from streams, sales, radio spins, etc.. 4. Add a streaming service into this game 5. Add a radio service pls 6. Even if a artists is popular, (like 99 max) don’t have ALL their songs peak and debut at no. 1 like it’s frustrating add a challenge to affect a singles chart position or something. 7. Add certifications for a song and album. 8. Let us send a single even if the album is already released. 9. Also make it possible to have a 1 to 3 million opening weekend if an artist have a strong connection with their fans. 10. Add social media websites into the game so we could promote to the fans and stuff 11. Also if my song didn’t chart in the top 10, I l would like to see all the songs on the chart like scroll down and stuff. 12. Last but not the least make it harder for an artist to make another era of their album be a success I surely want some challenges on the way or make my album deliberately flop.. more -
Jul 11, 2021 By Arnold ChoobweThe game is somehow awesome but a few little things need to be fixed. Like the way the court matters are handled.The other thing is that everytime i try to get my professional licence the game always fails to do so...Kindly help! To make the game great you could update some new features in the game.🙋🙋🙋 more -
Awesome Game, Chart System Needs Fixing
Nov 19, 2017 By kylercook628So this game is amazing and everything I’ve asked for, but the one thing that bothers me about the game is how screwy the charting system is. Like, how you can only have one single out at a time, the album chart being the same as the single chart, or how after an album is released you can’t release any more singles. I mean, it’s not the worst thing in the world, it’s just annoying when you want to have multiple songs in the top 10 or have a number one album AND number one single. Also, there should be like Gold and Platinum rewards and such. That’s all. more -
Sep 1, 2021 By Andries BenadeI liked it a lot and it kept me busy for super long, I would have liked if it was updated to be more complex similar to Popscene 2 on the PC. -
If your Questioning this game, GET IT!!!
Nov 7, 2017 By Lilbang9This game is soooo fun, it makes the time go by really fast! It doesn't drain your phone battery life, which is good. Although this game is good it can be GREAT if there was more in depth than it already is. TIPS TO THE DEVELOPER(S) Add more places to preform. Add more drama. Add instructions in the beginning. Add more ways to get money (like Commercials, TV roles, Award Shows, merch, Etc.) Improve the Award show system. Improve the Talent show system. Improve the relationship system. Add a star ranking status. Add more in game music. Improve the group/ collaboration system. I have many more ideas, but I would like to keep it short. I love this game and I would be more than happy to recommend this game to friends and share the fun! more -
Aug 28, 2021 By ohaegbulem munachisoI think the game is just superb. But I have a suggestion. Now that you made one about the music industry. Make one about the sports and movie industry. It's gonna be wonderful. I for one will be the first to download it. It'll be a first. A young sports star rising through the ranks and becoming a star. Please include soccer and MMA in that instalment 😇 more -
Aug 19, 2021 By Infinity RaquizaI love the but I have a problem you can't choose your own character like in wrestling school days I can't buy the full version so I want to choose my own character please fix it then I will give you a 5 star -

Jul 12, 2019 By zzaaququqijakaksjsjaI love this game and everything but I do like other people have something to say about this there should be collaboration in the music industry and there should also have music videos and shoot them with google images like take one out of a singers background also add touring and interviews also they should be doing shopping or celebrities just being outside and there’s crazy fans and paparazzi and other stuff like 15 or less songs you could have for a album and not have the people your working with decide what you have to do cause well it’s annoying so love you please do this and I’m your biggest fan :) more

Making Songs...
Mar 3, 2018 By Alex ReniOkay, so at first I didn’t know how to make a song at all. I looked it up and learned the band members make them and you basically only make financial decisions. This is utterly boring. I would expect Mat to find some way to make it more playable. Then comes the problem with the band members making them; I don’t know if it’s only me, but the members begin pumping out songs like they drank 10 bottles of Mountain Dew and later on it seems like they just stop permanently. That leaves you with less money, which means it is harder to pay them, which means your stats go down, which means you don’t make as much money from concerts, which means you will eventually go back to the underground, which means if you get new members and somehow produce a song you probably won’t make the charts, which means you will have less money. And... Game Over. New Game. Repeat. Ect. more -
Jun 4, 2021 By Oliver DixonIt's quite a bad simulation game. There's a lack of content and things to do. You don't get to choose when to make songs and the process of actually making songs is non existent apart from naming them. During performances you can't do anything to help your chances of a better outcome. It's all down to your attributes. None of which you can. actively improve. And there are lots of bugs and QOL issues. Also money is nearly useless because there's only one thing to spend it on (recruiting talent). more -
Jun 9, 2021 By GetalifeI definitely don't like this game anymore. Now you have to pay to edit your character and you can't pick the instrument you want. But even before this update you wouldn't know if the song would be good, and it was kind of just based on luck if your music sounded good or not and same for when you do performances. I think for almost all mdickie games you need to pay to customize now, and doing this just ruined mdickie games in a way. But anyways popscene is boring and is not worth playing. more -
Aug 15, 2021 By Mercury GarganoThis game was kinda bad and confuseing. And when I make a song it always be 1 star( please update)

Jul 17, 2021 By STandoff Namibian rappersI really love this game it's the best especially for people who dream of becoming artist but the only problem is that when you input your own song sometimes it restart and you lose some data's but it's no biggie 😂 -
I LOVE IT !!
May 4, 2018 By SnapaLAPA18443This 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 💯🔥❤️❤️ more -
This game is Fun!
Mar 15, 2019 By DopeInstrumemtalistThe only problem I see is the Margin. Like if I make $200 million dollars. My expenses go up high when I might only make $5-7 million dollars off album sales. I say instead if each song costing 1 dollar. Make it 2 dollars for a total of 20 dollars when we have all 10 songs (album) and also allow us to buy cars and houses maybe? But really I just wanna see change in the margin. It’s a nice fun game that teaches you business. No complaints here. Keep up the good work Mdickie@ more -
Great
Oct 4, 2018 By BrosOfNPPopscene is a game I’ve been playing since it’s release, it’s a bit repetitive but it’s a game that I can play for years, though to get a better experience you would need the VIP, then you can fully control everything, the only thing I would say this game is missing would be a needed update, it’s been about a year or so, mix things up and this could compete with wrestling revolution. more -
Aug 6, 2021 By Lovelyn Oluebube EjezieExcuse me I know am suppose to be telling you my experience from this game but why not make a brand new game you have made about wrestling don't you think it's about time you made a game about soccer it will be the best game your company will make because people love football more than anything even more than wrestling I have downloaded all your games I want a fresh and new one as people who play your games you should honor our request THANK YOU MR.MDICKIE more

Dec 14, 2020 By bdawg1400hi , I wanted to write this to the creators even though I doubt they’ll see :/ I love this game a lot and it is so convenient on mobile, since it doesn’t work on my computer. However as it gets older I notice more and more glitches. Now, I can no longer import mp3 music into my game. It just crashes or restarts the app. I am begging you see this, and can create a new update to fix compatibility issues with the newer phones & iPhone updates 🙏🏻 thanks! more -
Apr 23, 2021 By Tafadzwa MukundwaThis game is awesome..but its getting a bit old, an update maybe...and maybe you making the player be able to buy recording labels, being able to invest in other businesses coz i made $31mil and have none to do with it and make it more like real life and maybe making it personal when you be able to have a girlfriend or wife and family...it would be very marvel if you would do that and more along the lines... I'm sure if you ask the Popscene users do have suggestions... more -
Update
Jun 22, 2020 By skfignThis game could be one of the best you’ve ever made if you could just update it. After a while it gets boring and it would be way better if you would add more drama and more artists to compete against. It would also be great if you would change to collaborate with artists instead of creating a band with them. Add small little details as well to improve it. Thank you for giving birth to this game tho:) more -
Jul 3, 2021 By Michael JacksonI gave it 4 stars because their are some things I would like fixed 1. if you get to rich you start going to court alot over stupid things like I went to court over a song I made and someone said it was there and i had to pay a ridicule amount of money so if you could tune it down alot 2. if you got to court it should be over multiple weeks not just one day and you should be able to get a lawyer and plead your case and the decision should be give on the evidence and how much you pay. more -
Aug 6, 2021 By Andrei JayomaI really love this game but Can you add more awards and nominations like 3 nominations in one ceremony, and be specific with the date of award ceremony for example "Award ceremony celebrate 4th week of January every year". I hope you notice this😊 more -

Apr 30, 2018 By Not a bot real personHi creator or person reading this I love this game and all the other games you made but this game I would love if you could make a (Popscene Booking revolution) so you own the company your the millionaire who pays the people and creates the music your the boss it would be pretty cool and you could also make music and crap your self but it would be pretty hard to do this but please look into it thank you and thanks for making these amazing games more -
I like it! It needs new stuff though...
Nov 30, 2019 By Ram6📚I really like this game, it’s fun and it inspires me to work on music! I just think we should add a little bit more of “stuff” in the game like: Tours, Customizable Instruments, Countries (MAYBE), And More Venues, and There should be a way to make songs so you don’t just have to wait for the next song to pop up. I would really like to see these in the game so thank you! more

Awesome Game but please update it!
Sep 18, 2020 By Fountain_pen_aesthetxcThis is a very fun game if your bored and stuff but like it’s too repetitive and needs some updates, hopefully you put all the suggestions I have one by one (take ur time): 1. Make a different chart for albums and singles 2. Allow for promo to affect a singles chart position 3. Instead of using sales for the chart positions for the singles, make a point system instead like from the billboard hot 100 charts, like points from streams, sales, radio spins, etc.. 4. Add a streaming service into this game 5. Add a radio service pls 6. Even if a artists is popular, (like 99 max) don’t have ALL their songs peak and debut at no. 1 like it’s frustrating add a challenge to affect a singles chart position or something. 7. Add certifications for a song and album. 8. Let us send a single even if the album is already released. 9. Also make it possible to have a 1 to 3 million opening weekend if an artist have a strong connection with their fans. 10. Add social media websites into the game so we could promote to the fans and stuff 11. Also if my song didn’t chart in the top 10, I l would like to see all the songs on the chart like scroll down and stuff. 12. Last but not the least make it harder for an artist to make another era of their album be a success I surely want some challenges on the way or make my album deliberately flop.. more -
Aug 19, 2021 By Infinity RaquizaI love the but I have a problem you can't choose your own character like in wrestling school days I can't buy the full version so I want to choose my own character please fix it then I will give you a 5 star -
Complains.
Jan 26, 2018 By Boy1018Ok first of the music. The first one you given to does not even match with whatever you have. Also I hate this very much, to use other music, you gotta have a mp3 player. I don’t know what that it is and i don’t have it, my suggestion is to add any song the player wants. Also when you start you only get one song. I don’t know how it works. Other than that the games fine the developers have horrible taste in putting music for new players but i respect that. Thanks for reading my review. more

Making Songs...
Mar 3, 2018 By Alex ReniOkay, so at first I didn’t know how to make a song at all. I looked it up and learned the band members make them and you basically only make financial decisions. This is utterly boring. I would expect Mat to find some way to make it more playable. Then comes the problem with the band members making them; I don’t know if it’s only me, but the members begin pumping out songs like they drank 10 bottles of Mountain Dew and later on it seems like they just stop permanently. That leaves you with less money, which means it is harder to pay them, which means your stats go down, which means you don’t make as much money from concerts, which means you will eventually go back to the underground, which means if you get new members and somehow produce a song you probably won’t make the charts, which means you will have less money. And... Game Over. New Game. Repeat. Ect. more -
Jun 4, 2021 By Oliver DixonIt's quite a bad simulation game. There's a lack of content and things to do. You don't get to choose when to make songs and the process of actually making songs is non existent apart from naming them. During performances you can't do anything to help your chances of a better outcome. It's all down to your attributes. None of which you can. actively improve. And there are lots of bugs and QOL issues. Also money is nearly useless because there's only one thing to spend it on (recruiting talent). more

Aug 23, 2021 By Aphelele mlungu KlaasThe game used to be really cool when i could create my own character . Now that a person has to pay to create his or her character is so stupid . For me i truly think the developer of the game made a huge mistake !!! -
Jun 9, 2021 By GetalifeI definitely don't like this game anymore. Now you have to pay to edit your character and you can't pick the instrument you want. But even before this update you wouldn't know if the song would be good, and it was kind of just based on luck if your music sounded good or not and same for when you do performances. I think for almost all mdickie games you need to pay to customize now, and doing this just ruined mdickie games in a way. But anyways popscene is boring and is not worth playing. more -
Aug 15, 2021 By Mercury GarganoThis game was kinda bad and confuseing. And when I make a song it always be 1 star( please update)
What’s Groovy
LOVE Your games. If you were ever interested in porting or remaking it I would Love to see Popcorn come to mobile, or just more games like this one in general. I like a lot of your games, wrestling revolution, hard time, extra lives, superhero city. But this is my all time favorite. EDIT: I noticed youtube music now appears as an option. However this option does not actually work. Is there a way you could removed it as an option so as not to get players hopes up?

What’s Subpar
This game was my favourite, until the developer DIDINT let us create our own character. Now we have to start from scratch! With characters who have 50 in every stat?? Theres a lack of substance and it glitches when the screen becomes white, then we have to re-do what we did in that week! The only way to record tracks is by luck, the label owners rush us into finishing an album and when u say no, ur attitude deteriorates! I thought id be free to release ON MY OWN but apparently we're forced to!!
