MTV would like the world to know that Rock Band is doing very well, thanks for asking. Which we weren't but it is astonishing to learn that more than 2.5 million 'game levels based on songs' have been downloaded for the game since its release 8 weeks ago.

Metallica have the top-selling three song pack, featuring 'Ride The Lightning', 'Blackened' and 'And Justice For All', while the most popular singles are Foreigner's 'Juke Box Hero', Creedence Clearwater Revival’s 'Fortunate Son', Weezer’s 'Buddy Holly' and The Knack’s 'My Sharona'. What, no Right Said Fred? No "I Write the Songs' by Lord Sir Barry Manilow? Disgraceful!
