I will be stalking this page frequently. Looking forward to the update!
(Culd you possibly take a look at "GDFR" and see if you could do it? I'm pretty sure that song will rule the summer. No worries if you don't want to. Thanks for all the work you've done for the community!)

Idk why, but I get the feeling the song after Uptown Funk in the list is Wish You Were Mine by Philip George, which did well in the UK.
As for the others, I'm gonna guess
1. Cool - Alesso ft. Roy English
2. GDFR - Flo Rida ft. Sage & Lookas or Gravity - DJ Fresh ft. Ella Eyre
3. Jealous - Nick Jonas
4/5. Time Of Our Lives - Pitbull ft. Ne-Yo or Turn Down For What - DJ Snake ft. Lil Jon
6. Wish You Were Mine - Philip George
Any of these I get right I will reward myself with a cookie

Sorry for my absence guys! Had some personal things, took a short holiday and to top it off my temporary laptop died! This is why I don't like Windows!! I should be able to grab the files however so I don't think anything will be lost!
As for your guesses CanJay... you got 2. And now you know that it'll probably drive you mad! C:<

What does "6/5/2015" mean in the thread title?
Is that the released date of the pack?? June 5th?
Or is it just that on May 6th, he added "Shut Up and Dance".
Anyways, I'm eager to see the songs!

Absolutely love your packs. They're fun to play with and the best part is that there are difficulties for everyone. I went ahead and made banners for your other packs along with jackets for those who use Weai theme.
Here's a preview of one:
You can find there rest here.
Can't wait for the next pack :3

Hey guys!
Sorry I haven't updated in a while, the HDD on my temp laptop blew! Managed to salvage the files though, I'm getting the laptop back in a few days! At least there's been a few more awesome releases whilst I've had the difficulties!
Kootta, oh my god, I am smiling SO much! They're awesome and I absolutely love the liberties taken with the titles of the mixes ;D Snails In Your Fruit.. incredible. Using them myself now, thank you so much!!
Suppose I should reveal a LITTLE more info on some upcoming songs.. hmm. I have to ensure you guys know I'm not out of Style! I don't want you guys to take your hype and leave, I wanna See You Again.. if I put some hot Cheerleaders into the art will you come back?! Ugh.. C'est La Vie I guess...
Back in action in a few days!

I'm glad you loved 'em. My boyfriend and myself love using your song packs when we play and I thought adding some spice to them would better the experience. If you ever need some banners and jackets done shoot me a PM. Here's hoping for the recovery of your HDD and the completion of your pack.

Tomorrow is the official day when I'll know if any of my files survived the HDD crash! If they did, I will release a mini preview pack as an apology for the wait for you guys. If none are recovered.. guess I got some work to do!
Also the Bonus Tracks section will be for songs not from 2015, Konami Originals and the like. I have a couple of Bemani crossovers that I'm sure will prove to be quite popular picks!

No need to apologize bro. Shit happens. If anything, sorry about your laptop crapping out on you.

I'm excited for this pack as I love all of the previous packs. I appreciate all the work you've put into these and I have thoroughly enjoyed playing them. I also am sorry to hear about the HDD and laptop I hope things are easily recovered.
When you get back on your feet...I don't know if you are taking any requests, but I'd love to see...
Thanks again! Looking forward to the new stuff!

I just checked out some of these charts, and they are really good, as I was expecting.
Not related to the charts though, but I had some thoughts about your videos. I understand you want HD quality, but bit rates of 5000kbps for a 480p video is really, really excessive. For these kinds of resolutions, you probably won't need anything more than 1000kbps tops if encoded with x264.
Also, I have noticed that in both these and and in past releases, your videos also include an audio stream, which is unnecessary, since you have a separate music file that the .sm directs to, thus increasing the file size of your videos for absolutely no real reason.
If you like, here is a zip of the five video files I made in handbrake, using your videos as the source, transcoded with 1000kbps/2-pass/normal speed/same as source resolution and framerate encodes with the audio steam dropped. This zip is about 73MB, which is smaller than just one of your original videos (http://download1589.mediafire.com/w0e220anyiug/rjppaxjhc4i5g4q/For+Ben.7z).
I urge you to at least watch the videos for yourself and compare the two. If you feel that yours are marginally better, I can increase the quality a bit and re-up them, but I really doubt you will notice any real difference. I also understand that this is 2015, and HDD space and download speeds are substantially higher than a decade ago, but I figure why waste the HDD space and bandwidth to download when all that extra data is really not necessary.
Also, I hope this isn't taken as a harsh criticism. I am really trying to help out here. Cheers again for the preview release, and I am looking forward to the rest of the pack.

Hey Tyler!
Thanks a lot for doing that, that's really great of you. I currently switched computers and I'm lacking all the video editing software I used to use, hence partly why I chose to leave this vanilla aha, but what you've done seems to be exactly what I ideally wanted, so I'll download those and check them out!
Thanks man, I'll let you know in a bit!

Uptown Funk!-bg.png file is corrupted. Otherwise, your new package is as great as your previous ones.

Check out Handbrake. It is an open source video converter. Quick and easy download and install.

What the heck. How come I didn't get a notification that Ben had returned (and uploaded the mini pack)!
I will be playing these at the community center TOMORROW! They will be super stoked! Thank you so much for working on CURRENT music. (This is one of the best ways to get new players interested too)!

I'm back! Sorry for going AWOL there guys haha!!
Big update, check the first post, 12 new songs, all videos have been converted using Handbrake (thank you Tyler for the amazing suggestion!) so everything is now at a decent file size, everything is going great!
I have requested a category on this site so hopefully I can start sharing them with you all soon, and upload them as I finish. 5 sims released public is not enough anymore!
And of course, throw some suggestions my way if you like! Bare in mind I'm in the UK so some of our top charting music may differ, I don't wanna miss something awesome cos our country decided NOPE!
