Rock Band currently has a catalog of roughly 600 songs between the first and second games, DLC and AC/DC track pack. But MTV wants more. A lot more.

A Billboard report (via GameDaily) discussing the impact of music games on the video game industry has MTV suggesting that they would like to make 5000 songs available for the Rock Band series. By the end of year.

Pretty heady numbers, but Electronic Art"s worldwide executive of music and marketing is taking a longer view. He believes that Rock Band and Guitar Hero are a "microscopic view of what the potential of music in this medium can be."
