TopOne

We’re on the fence with TopOne: while we eventually uncovered a decent song selection, the system’s organisation was terrible, with a useless direct artist search function (instead, click on the artist’s name when it’s listed in the song search) and a song directory that only allows you to search by the first letter (requiring a fair amount of diligent scrolling through the pages). Even more unforgivable is the inclusion of a few videos that don’t have lyrics – including several key MJ songs. Also, just like Party World, you’re notified if they’re screening the original MTV or not, so be sure to watch out for a variety of hilariously cheesy substitutes. Despite the frustrations with the song search, it’s conveniently located at Bugis and the rooms are clean and cosy, with fun disco lights – we’ve heard that the smoke machines really add atmosphere to the room (although the one in ours was, unfortunately, broken). There’s also a unique selling point at TopOne: their recording studio, which is located on the second floor. The cost is $30 per song, or $50 per hour.
