Here you can check your best scores for each song you've played.

Input Fields

• Player/Band Name: Enter your username here if looking for solo scores, or your band's name if looking for band scores. Usernames for PS3 and Xbox users are your PSN/Xbox Live account names. Usernames for Wii players are apparently entered the first time you play Rock Band. Unfortunately, Wii usernames are not unique, so you may see scores that are not yours if your username is common.
• Instrument: Select the instrument you wish to see scores for. If looking for your whole band's scores, select "Band". To see scores for all Solo instruments, choose "All Solo".
• Platform: Select your console type.
• Game: Select Rock Band or Rock Band 2, depending on which game you wish to see scores for.
• Difficulty: Select the difficulty you wish to see star information for. The star column is the only one affected by this choice. If you select a difficulty different than what you played, the number of stars awarded may be far too high or low.
• Band Difficulty: Select the difficulty for each instrument, if getting band scores. Select "none" if you do not have that instrument in your band. The star column is the only one affected by these choices.
• Show songs without scores: Select this to see scores for songs that you do not have a score recorded for. The columns for your score and stars will be blank.
• Show RB2/RB1/DLC songs: Select these to choose which sources you wish to see songs for.
• Get Scores: Click this button to see your scores on the web page.
• Get Scores as CSV File: Click this button to get your scores as a Comma-Seperated Values file, which most spreadsheet programs can import. This may be useful for printing or advanced sorting.

Results

Click on a column header to sort by that column. You can click again to reverse the direction of the sort.

• Song Name: The name of song. Click on this to see additional information about this song, including star cutoffs, number of players who have attained each star level, high scores, and more.
• Rank: Your ranking for this song in your selected instrument for this console.
• Score: Your best recorded score for this song.
• Stars: The number of stars your score would be worth at the selected difficulty level. If you selected a difficulty of less than Expert, this may still show 6 or more stars. This means your score would have been good enough for Gold Stars, but the game does not award them at lower difficulty levels. Some people refer to this as "pyrite stars".
• Best: The #1 score on this platform for this song.
• % points: The ratio of your score to the #1 score. That is, a number of 50% here indicates that you scored half as many points as the best score.
• Difficulty: The difficulty rating of the song for the chosen instrument. These are provided by Harmonix.
• Source: Where this song came from (Rock Band 1 or 2, or Downloadable Content).
• Score Updated: The time at which this score was retrieved from the rockband.com leaderboards.
• Update: Click this to request that the scores for this song be re-pulled from the rockband.com leaderboards. Requests may not be handled for quite some time, depending on the number received and on the speed of the official leaderboards.

FAQ

• How are scores updated?

  There are two methods. First, an automated process regularly updates the scores for any song when the scores get to be too old. This process goes on continuously. Secondly, users who do not want to wait for these automatic updates may request a quicker update by clicking the "refresh" button next to a song. This schedules the song's update to happen much more quickly, usually within a few hours.

• Why is a score shown for a song that I have not played at the difficulty I selected?

  The official leaderboards do not record the difficulty level with your score. Therefore, I have no way of knowing what difficulty was selected when you played a song. The "difficulty" selector box is simply for computing the number of stars that your score would be worth at that difficulty level. If you played a song at a difficulty other than that selected, the number of stars computed will be incorrect, but you score and rank will still be accurate.
