SingStar '80s, which is set for release on 10 November this year, will feature a new '80s-themed intro, retro colour scheme, fully licensed tracks from the original artists, and all the videos that ushered in the dawn of music television.

The full track list includes some classic gems as well as some extremely embarrassing efforts. Raise your fist in the air and sing Europe's The Final Countdown.
