Shout About Music is a music trivia game created by ODVD and distributed by Hasbro, released on 1 August 2005, as a follow-up to their line of "Shout About Movies" games.
Regarding the release of the Shout About Movies & Television trivia games, Mark Blecher (of Hasbro Games) stated that ""This latest portfolio of SHOUT ABOUT games - music, country music and TV - reflect today's high-energy, fast-paced gaming style, providing players with instant gratification and immediate play." Two volumes of the game were released on 1 August 2005. A Country Music edition of the game was also released, exclusively available at Wal-Mart. Two volumes of the game were later released in the UK, under the titles "Chart Toppers" and "Battle of the Bands."
The game consists of 8 rounds, played entirely using a TV remote.
A snippet of a song is played, and the teams must attempt to shout out the name of the song. All players play simultaneously. Each correct answer earns one point.
Album covers comes together piece by piece; the teams must try to shout out the name of the recording artist who released the albums. All players play simultaneously. Each correct answer earns one point.
Snippets of five music videos for songs from Round One are shown; six trivia facts appear on-screen, and the teams attempt to match the trivia facts to the corresponding music videos. Unlike the first two rounds of game play, teams must take turns in Round Three; when a team gets an answer wrong, it's the other team's turn. Each correct answer is worth two points.
A song's lyrics begin appearing on screen, on blue tiles. The players must shout out what word is on the golden tile, which doesn't flip over until the end. All players play simultaneously. Each correct answer is worth two points.
Photographs of two musicians appear side-by-side, with a trivia caption beneath them. Players must identify which of the two shown musicians the trivia fact corresponds to. When two photos with golden frames are placed side-by-side, that means that a correct answer to that question is worth five points. Teams must take turns in this round; when a team gets an answer wrong, or when a team gets a golden-frame question correct, it's the other team's turn.
A series of events, song titles, or musicians' names are displayed, and the teams must be arranged smallest to largest or chronologically. As in round three, it is the other team's turn when the answering team gives a wrong answer.
Five words or phrases all referring to the same musician or band appear onscreen. Both teams try to name the musician or band the clues refer to.
