The top 20 Rock Band Network songs unofficially revealed

The Rock Band Network has been up and running for a few weeks now, and by all accounts it has been a pretty solid success. Music has been uploaded, downloaded and played. However, that isn’t how success is really measured by the big gaming companies. They measure success through cash money. In terms of cold, hard cash we have no idea how well RBN is doing — officially.

Unofficially the folks over at RockBandAide did some maths and some calculations and some guess work and probably some sort of ancient ritual to the gods of money. Through doing these things they’ve come up with the rough estimate of RBN making $107,000 in its first two weeks. In comparison, RockBandAide says that “official” DLC should have brought in $161,000 over the same two weeks. With Harmonix and EA making a much higher profit on all RBN tracks than their “official” DLC, things look pretty good for the fledgling network. It should be noted that these numbers are most likely underestimating the amount of money made.

We aren’t a major corporation, though. We’re gamers and we don’t want to know what is making a profit, but if our favorite song is selling well. To this end the ever persevering RockBandAide also guesstimated the top 20 downloaded songs for RBN. They’re after the jump and surprisingly good as a whole.
