After starting off the year with 2.5 million song downloads, then inching up to 6 million by March, Harmonix has revealed that the total number of Rock Band (and Rock Band 2) songs downloaded has eclipsed the 28 million mark. That's like an album going double diamond plus more.

With the announcement of the 28 million song downloads, Harmonix mentioned that that they reached their goal of making at least 500 songs available to Rock Band owners by years end. If you are wondering the exact number of DLC tracks available via the Music Store, it's 345 songs sung by 239 different artists. Congrats Harmonix, were were pessimists when you announced weekly Rock Band DLC releases, but now, after 55 consecutive weeks, we're believers.

Nicely done Harmonix.

At 160 Microsoft Points each thats over 4.4 billion Points and thats a lot of points cards. 

Wow, that is a LOT of songs available..

I wonder if that's 28 million songs, or just 28m downloads?

If it's the second, you can only wonder how many are full albums and multi-track downloads. Harmonix must be making money hand over fist :-p

That's very cool, though this should be under Gaming.
