The peak in 2013 is thanks to the Ethereal Island update. The Island was the first new island since the islands planned from release and attracted lots of new people as it was the first to feature completely new monsters. It was featured across google play and the App Store when the update came, which is why it hit its peak then. And the reason why the trailer has so many views is because up until around a year ago Google Play used the RUclips trailer and this contributed to the videos views. It's so cool to see so many people discovering the game, awesome editing! 😁
@LeBron James Its been out for years and it’s been getting updates constantly. I stopped playing a few years ago and there’s so much new stuff. It’s doing fine. It’s not even a problem if it stops because nothing can last forever.
The reason why Composer exists as an app is because of the fact that the actual Composer Island was too limiting with its monsters. (Basically meaning that there weren’t enough monsters on that island to compose up of a good song). Composer includes things such as Rares, Ethereals, etc. (And it seems like BBB didn’t bother updating the actual Composer Island, which is fair I guess).
B@d, I’m not saying composer is getting updates- I’m trying to say that bbb didn’t bother to update the composer island in the main game, so they created composer as an alternative but even then composer barely gets updates
They really should add fire monsters in the composer app. There are so many good sounds they are missing out on, like repatillo, floogull, sooza, rootitoot, ziggurab, etc
The absolute passion behind My Singing Monsters is so damn intriguing to me. The musical talent that goes behind some of these songs is staggering! like the funky (completely real, yup its not a soundfont) double bass of Thwok give Wublin Island a jazzy kick, the gorgeous bassoon of Blassoom on Starhenge lasting 12 WHOLE MEASURES OF NO REPEATING TRACKS, the surprising yet welcome collaboration with country singer/songwriter Kristian Bush to make Shugabush Island, and the incredible complexity and funkiness of Bone Island. The insane amount of musical talent and passion behind this awe-inspiring game series is what many other games should aspire to do! And that artstyle OOOOH that artstyle! it perfectly mixes detailed, creepy, and charming to make some incredible designs (except everything on celestial island, screw you celestial island). And finally... The charm! The main thing that has kept me interested all these years is... well yeah the music, but the charm of the universe big blue bubble has created! From the ancient times of the Dawn of Fire with the continent splitting apart at the end, to the colossals sacrificing themselves for all the monsters, and finally to the modern monster world where new islands and friends are being discovered all the time! Just do yourself a favor and look up the lore of these games, its so fascinating! well... sorry for ranting so long, I just love this series so much and I want to see it do great thing! For whoever read this whole thing, I thank you oh so much!
@@vreikezen8268 No no I mean that Thowk's sound is an actually real Double Bass. Some other monsters that play real deal instruments are all of the Shugafam (Kristian Bush insisted that he would use his own instruments), Ffidyll, Riff (on all of it's islands), Attmoz (on Starhenge, not Celestial), and Zuuker (If you remove all of the effects).
While other games of their era had died out or become lazy, Msm has done nothing but improve over the past 10 YEARS! That’s insane. The dedication to their craft is unrivaled, and a game is always better when it’s developers enjoy what they do. I love how the game and its creators can be as funny as they want to be. While it isn’t many people’s taste, it’s still an incredible game for multiple audiences of people.
When I was a kid, this had to be my favorite game. I used to spent so much time on it. And I haven't heard of it in a long time. And just seeing this made me a bit happy since I see people that still remember this game. It used to be one of my favorites. Even if it was a bit weird to have monsters making noises to make a song it was very fun to do for some reason. Overall I'm just happy that people still remember this. Because I don't want it to die it was part of my childhood.
@That clone trooper in the back on the high ground same! I remember getting a rare something. It was like a dragon looking guy with a guitar and like some hair.
Most franchises would start to slow down by now, but I think it has such a strong and motivated fanbase and dev team that it’s actually gotten stronger.
@@GameyGaming the rise of social media in the years this game has been out have definitely helped this game. I think just understanding internet algorithms and fanbases can widen your audience a ton
@@MysteryMusic512 that’s very true, understanding social media has almost evolved nowadays into an artform, or at least a skill you have to master to be successful
As someone who has been supporting My Singing Monsters almost since it's release, it's WILD the amount of random popularity it's getting. It comes with it's pros and cons, and I'm willing to accept the trend with open arms. The quiet resilience of the Monster-Handlers has finally payed off! Speaking of that resilience, isn't it kinda crazy that they release 2 new islands EVERY YEAR, even during the low points? If that isn't passion, I don't know WHAT is.
Im so glad this game is finally reviving, the community used to be so big yet tiny at the same time, it’s like the community of MSM wasn’t expanding but wasn’t dying, this game was a HUGE part of my childhood.
I decided to get My Singing Monsters again as a joke, and eventually getting some of my friends into it. This was before the massive wave of popularity. Then, I realised that My Singing Monsters started spreading through my school. I started seeing it way more often, and heard people talking about it sometimes. It's funny because as soon as I start playing it again, there is a massive spike in popularity.
Also, here’s a reason on why I believed the game sparked up so high. Updates. Plain and simple. Their updates such as new island, monsters, etc. have been improving the game and its success, and while its successors aren’t getting as much love, they are still liked by many.
I've played this game and most of it's spinoffs (actually I think I have played all of them except for Furcorn's Jelly Dreams because it doesn't exist) and I am really happy this series got a lot more attention as of lately. It is one of the 3 good things that stiktok has done to humanity
the fact that every anniversary year past few years now have had something big happen with the game just shows the sheer dedication that the big blue bubble team have for MSM. what's truly the most insane thing about this game though is the fact that this game has lore. Edit: and just like that they're waking up the islands now so we're probably going to see a new era for this game very soon.
I'm a msm og and I'm so happy to see its back. I never grew out of it. The community before 2022 was extremely tiny and chill, there are like 3 popular msm youtubers out there. I'm so happy to see videos on this jem from people who haven't played it for years. Thank you 😊.
As an OG Fan of My Singing Monsters that's been following this game for years I've gotta say that I am IMPRESSED with the growth of this game. I'm surprised it still stands tall after a decade. I never thought after that one memorable ad this game would grow to fame. I'm just hoping Gen Z doesn't ruin the game like how they sometimes do. It's a genuienly good game with lots of work and heart put into it! The community is loveable and I hope that doesn't get ruined.
The lore/history of the series is starting to be pieced together, so you’ll be impressed with how far the story goes with what little information we do have! And the new islands are absolutely incredible, don’t overlook a single island at all!!!
“Gen Z” is the main audience old fart you can thank them for making memes and keeping the game alive or it would have been dead nostalgia can’t keep shit alive by itself
@lebronjames4871 They are adding new monsters like crazy, it had me hooked for quite a few months and i progressed a ton. I stopped playing it but its insane how much dedication they have and they have created new islands this year.
@LeBron James on its last limb by…. Getting a giant resurgence, and constantly working and updating over the course of a decade…. Yeah, real “dead, last limb behaviour.” I can tell you don’t actually play this game lol
I literally saw an ad on this game years ago and kinda thought it was scary lol, but my friends told me I had to play it, so I did, knowing I’d delete it the same day, I got addicted, and now here I am, stuck playing this game over and over again without losing any joy from it, I can’t believe I had seen the game so many years beforehand, if I had just started playing the game when I saw the ad, I can’t imagine what my stats would be like today!
played this wayyy back in the day when i was younger, and then early 2022 i rediscovered it. its cool how the game is suddenly starting to take off in popularity. thank you mr terror guy, very cool
I’ve been a huge fan of the game for many years, and it’s been a big part of my life for a while. On one hand, I’m a bit worried that the mostly-niche fanbase will soon end up like other communities such as Minecraft, but on the other hand I’m honestly pretty happy with its newfound success (which I DEFINITELY did not expect). It’s such an amazing franchise with so many passionate developers, artists and composers behind it. So even if it does continue to rise in popularity, it deserves every last bit of it.
I have followed this franchise since the beggining and it makes me happy to see how far they have come *also Magical Sanctum is the best song and you can't change my mind*
I’ve been quite pleased to see my singing monsters to finally receive the popularity it has gotten. The amount of love and effort put into the game is incredible, not only that but the music is just as amazing. I’ve played since 2013 and i’ve loved it ever since, its inspired me to make music and art. The game is just incredible and i’m happy to see it grow. thank you for making this great video to shortly cover its history, editing and quality is fantastic. (the cheesiest thing i’ve written bro 😭😭 literally hate the tiktok community though dude its so garbage ☠️☠️☠️)
As a msm player, I love the game so much because,unlike most world building games, you can get gems in organic means by just playing a bit and getting either a mine or zynth farm
Hey, Ive been watching your vids for awhile. And holy moly you have over 200k now. Thanks for making a video about msm, I really wasn’t expecting that lol
This video is absolutely amazing, ive been in the msm community since 2020 and seeing it blow up like this really makes me glad for the game. This video is easily one of the best videos covering my singing monsters, if not big blue bubbles whole history.
It's amazing to see a game i've been playing for 9+ years now grow to an immense popularity like this. It's nice to see it grow like this because I remember back in 2015-2016 when the community was so small and there were only like 2-3 large creators. Since then many more have arrived and now there is more competition. Many of the old creators though have either retried, faded into obsurity, or just simply stepped down from their high positions in the community. I will miss many of them, but I also welcome the new creators who can bring new ideas to the table. I am proud to have been in the My Singing Monsters community long enough to see it start, fall, enter the golden age, fall again, and then grow to what it is now (by fall I don't mean disappear I mean a long period of time without new creators or content being made.)
@@AlanRobinsonArun I'm not entirely sure if Msmpokegamer was around then, I never really payed attention to him. Though, the other two were the champs of the old community, sadly both of them kinda faded away. The first MSM youtube content I ever watched was from Diane. The first play your part contest is when I started watching the community actively.
@@Fowltree Im pretty sure that msmpokegamer was quite big back then because I remember watching his videos at the time. Diane quit I think and wbangca's channel died sadly
@@AlanRobinsonArun Yeah, MSMPokegamer probably was big back then as well, he always was for what I can remember. I just don't remember watching his videos back then, even though I probably did.
I have been playing this game since 2012, and it is one of my favorite games of all-time. I am really happy it is resurging in popularity. I love this game because the singing aspect, every monster adding their own piece to the song really adds an incentive to collect more monsters, and the songs in this game are iconic (especially plant island). Thank you for doing a review on this game that I love so much.
I just remembered this game a few months ago, and I felt really nostalgic about it so I decided to download it again. Personally, all of the advertisements are annoying to me, but it brings back good memories about when I was younger. Amazing video btw!
I started playing msm kinda early, (I think around 2016 or 2015) and honestly I love this game and it deserves all the attention it got Edit: I think the composer app exists is because it has way more stuff you can do than composer island, it has more monsters, and a much more advanced way to compose them. and since its another app, its more likely to draw in people who use it to compose ACTUAL songs so you won't get a bunch of memes like on composer island
I've always loved this game since it's Ethereal Island update, watching this game grow, die, grow, die again, and than absolutely SPIKE in popularity was one of the best journeys of my life, seeing the game grow and it's playerbase was truly fascinating, and all the way worth it.
9 years ago my friend and I would be so addicted to Maw, and whenever he started singing we would turn our ipods' volumes to the max and stick them in our ears to listen.
Brooo I rediscovered MSM 2 years ago in summer. I remembered having the game downloaded as a kid, and was like ‘hey, I never finished the islands, I wonder what they sounded like?’ Looked up the songs and instantly got hooked again. (Shoutout to msmpokegamer for single-handedly carrying the fandom on his back!!!) I love the game!! There’s so much care in it and the musical skill is genuinely so good. Every monster is so unique and I adore the monster handlers and their attitude haha. I’m so glad everyone’s finally paying attention to it. Hail Galvana everybody
Seeing My Singing Monsters peak in player count in the past few months has…well, peaked my interest on how that came to be, but it came to the simple answer of TikTok fame. Aside of that, it’s mostly the updates that the game brings with new monsters, and islands to discover, as well as new songs to build up. Also to fix an error in the video, My Singing Monsters Dawn of Fire is the game’s prequel, not sequel. Dawn of Fire takes place in the past before the continent split apart, before it was formed into the monster world that’s in the main game. Edit: The My Singing Monsters Composer app is meant to be an extension of the Composer Island in the main game, but with more monsters to use in the song, and more options to use than originally before in the original game.
MattShea also had a play in MSM getting revived. Many have stated going back into the game because of him and many like myself have played the game for the first time because of him.
super early! I've loved msm ever since it came out,(I LOST ALL MY PROGRESS >:( ) its always had so much passion and love put into it and im so glad you decided to make a video on it T3rr0r!
as a prevalent editor of the wiki, as well as a pretty frequent player (just look at my pfp) im both glad, and distraught at the surge in popularity, because if it gets too popular, itll lose its niche, obscureish, mobile game charm
i was obsessed with the game years ago, ive become deathly obsessed again and I couldn't be any happier msm is getting the attention it's always deserved
I've had my account since early 2015. I picked it up every now and then, but in 2023 I really became invested again. Then the whole facebook thing happened, and I got logged out until recently. Now I'm getting back to it. You'd think I'd be a pro by now, but I'm just level 21.. lol.
The only thing I’m worried about with the new popularity it’s gaining right now is the fan base becoming too big and becoming toxic or problematic, but it’s been a while and it hasn’t happened, so i have hope for the future because they’re releasing updates frequently and the community isn’t bored.
@@joaovictornogueira323 yea the thing I’ve found most annoying recently was the amount of people asking for 1000 diamonds for Christmas (they got mad when they got 25) and the people advertising their tribes in people’s comments
I was one of those people who downloaded the game in 2013- Another thing is that a lot of the time the monsters mostly do their own thing yet in a way that doesn't sound cacophonous... and it blends well, like in Mythical Island. It's currently incomplete but you have one monster doing spacey harp effects, one being an entire jungle percussion ensemble, and one that yodels- and yet it somehow blends together really well. It's the kind of music that you can't really get anywhere else.
One of the biggest reasons why my singing monsters is so fun for me, is how on games like clash of clans, sometimes it’s entertaining just to stare at your base for a while, and just mess around with the layout. In my singing monsters, that’s the entire objective of the game. And while there’s a huge progression, and as of now PvP aspect to the game, at the end of the day it’s all just sitting around and listening to your monsters sing.
im new to msm. i fell in love quickly with the monsters, their designs and their songs. specially mammott. they're all so cute and goofy. i don't usually like this kind of gameplay but i absolutely love it here
I think a big part of it was the massive increase of high quality content, specifically the epic wubboxes. These have also been the spotlight of many memes in the community, and I think that they alone contribute to a large success of the franchise as it is right now.
As someone who played MSM, CoC, Dragon City, and Monster Legends, what kept me playing MSM to this day is the passion that is clearly put into every aspect of the game. The other games (Especially Dragon City) felt more and more pay to win as you progressed. MSM? It always felt like they WANTED you to progress, though the process can be a bit of a tedious waiting game at times, it pays off with a new addition to the island song. The way each monster is so thoughtfully designed from their names to their sound. The lore behind the game. I've been playing since 2013, I've got a lot of memories with this game. I'm happy to see it doing well. I've gotten the younger family members into the game so that they may have their own fond memories of funny cartoon monsters
I stopped playing this game years ago, but I'm still impressed by how over the years, they made tens of great songs and animation with new and different monsters doing different parts.
Yeah, I saw it all go down. I've been an MSM player and fan since 2015 and I saw how it rised. It was mainly the Cold Island song. It started trending about two months ago and people started getting invested in it, along with the Earth Island song. That also supported it's rise
I had that thing right when Light Island released quite a while ago, but I came back on September 2021 and I was really happy I started playing again at that time. So many updates are happening and the 10th anniversary was decently good. Nowadays I am slowely backing away from the game. I think when the next big update comes I will have something to do again, but now I will go and play MSM Composer until some interesting stuff happens with the main game.
@@uiinpui I feel the same. But with all the giant events on the game I feel the game is moving too fast, making new rares, epics, and releasing new monsters. I can’t even finish an island without BBB releasing 3 more
I've been obsessed with MSM since launch. Still obsessed to this day. Also, I now have two ghazts. Very exciting. I also have all four werdos, and you wanna know the craziest part? I didn't spend a single penny. I just got really lucky with the when spin from the castle, and really lucky with breeding. I got both ghazts from trying to breed rare bowgart. Funny how the world works.
MSM was honestly really creative on the already existing concept. Slowly building a song by breeding monsters is WAY more creative than just buying random dragons to fight them or buying a 5000 pack of clash of clans gems so you can get that level 14 Town Hall without having to grow old and die 5 times over. Also MSM composer is basically an expanded version of Composer Island. You can use basically EVERY monster, not just naturals from the first 5 islands. Rares and Epics also have their own sounds. You can place more than 1 note per line allowing for more variety, and in general it’s a 10x better music maker than the main composer island.
I redownloaded the game just now and its actualy fun, i also installed it in 2013 but i didnt understand the mechanics of how to get new monsters and "likes"
Thank you so much man. I love my singing monsters so much and you making a video about it is so awesome. If you ever need another mobile game company to cover I would SO recommend Mediocre Games there games are not at all mediocre, they have made games that are so great gameplay wise and graphically. They managed to make free mobile games that manage to look better than a 60 dollar switch game. So yeah. Mediocre Games has made some of the most underrated masterpieces. PLUS, no one on RUclips has ever covered this company so you can have a completely original video. I hope you see this comment and that I gave enough good reasons why you should cover this mobile game company. -Jchap
I remember being in this community, people used to make videos about their own fanmade monsters, hell, even made islands in it, the videos were like watching from the island you have (like earth or cold), they even made their own elements also, like rubber island by mantisgirl If you don't know who mantisgirl nor what rubber island is, go search it up, it's really cool
I used to play MSM a lot as a kid but as I grew older I forgot about it. Since rediscovering it in 2022 I've been playing the game every single day, just like when I was a kid. I think MSM is the most fun game in this genre out there as getting new monsters builds up entire songs and it's so rewarding hearing the songs get better and better as you play.
It's one of the goats of mobile games for sure, was one of the first mobile games that I actually played for extended amount of time and didn't just download for a few weeks and then get rid of, after not playing it for years I got it again around this time last year and I still play it all the time
I've been a huge fan of this game ever since summer of 2014 when I was 5 years old, and now I'm 14 and I still love it to this day. I can't believe it's growing so much in recent years because of TikTok. One thing to note about this game is that is also has insane lore, some of which hasn't been 100% confirmed yet.
As someone who’s been playing this game since it first came out when I was a little baby seven/eight year old, I’m very excited to see what this video has in store for me :)
I started playing in 2014 and I gotta say, the game has changed A LOT and I was so surprised to actually see popular youtubers start making videos on MSM recently because the game itself wasn't really that popular, it only has quite a lot of reviews because it is an old game so it received those reviews overtime.
I’m so happy that it came back in a big way since this was my childhood. I played from 2013 (when it started to be big) to 2017-2018, then got bored and stopped.. Until my friend started playing at school and went directly back to the game since November of this year and I’m so happy that I can actually enjoy at a mobile game again! MSM forever!
i grew tired of the dragon and coc games pretty quickly but msm kept me playing it. it was always excited to know how they sound. each time i put down a monster, the music changes
I never played it, but I had always wanted to. I remember when I was younger watching my brother play it when I was younger and being obsessed, haha. The thing that made me think about it again was people using the song for cold island as an animation meme, I’m glad it’s popular again honestly, I didn’t realize how much I’d missed it
Honestly, this made me want to play it again, I used to play it in 2020 and earlier and I have quit 2 times (the first time being before the pandemic and the second time in 2021) and now in 2022, I might play it again just for the lulz. I mean, I have gotten more grindy lately with my gameplay being able to grind more easily (thanks pokemon go) and now I think I can handle this games long waittimes. I mean, I gotten very far as a kid but I don't think I knew what I was doing. Overall happy 10 years and I hope this game continues to be a success.
I remembered this game and re-download it in the summer before it blew up again And wow. Watching it go from fame to slowly withering to fame again makes me so proud. This game is so awesome. There's so much love put into it. The fact it was still getting updated, and a lot was pretty crazy
I’ve had the same account since my friend told about the game in 5th grade, I am now in 11th grade shocked that my friends are getting into it also getting me back into after a few years
I played this game when it was first release on the play store, saw one of its ads pop up while i watch an ad to get a pro pack on mini militia. Tjen downloaded it then play the living heck out of it. My og acc had been lost rip to all my rares but after a few more years. I came back on for the Magical Sanctum update that is now my current account, i had miss alot of new content since.
I can finally say that I did something long before a tiktok trend. started again like 1,5 years ago after a loooooong pause. The last time I played there were only the natural Islands before returning. No need to say it, but I was so amazed by what they've done.
I'm not an old player like most people but being an animator on RUclips I had seen animation memes with cold island as the sang and I decided to start playing. I'm quickly falling in love wth the game! This is my first full week having the game and I can see why it's really good
The peak in 2013 is thanks to the Ethereal Island update. The Island was the first new island since the islands planned from release and attracted lots of new people as it was the first to feature completely new monsters. It was featured across google play and the App Store when the update came, which is why it hit its peak then. And the reason why the trailer has so many views is because up until around a year ago Google Play used the RUclips trailer and this contributed to the videos views. It's so cool to see so many people discovering the game, awesome editing! 😁

The reason why Composer exists as an app is because of the fact that the actual Composer Island was too limiting with its monsters. (Basically meaning that there weren’t enough monsters on that island to compose up of a good song). Composer includes things such as Rares, Ethereals, etc. (And it seems like BBB didn’t bother updating the actual Composer Island, which is fair I guess).

And just seeing this made me a bit happy since I see people that still remember this game. It used to be one of my favorites. Even if it was a bit weird to have monsters making noises to make a song it was very fun to do for some reason. Overall I'm just happy that people still remember this.

Most franchises would start to slow down by now, but I think it has such a strong and motivated fanbase and dev team that it’s actually gotten stronger.
@@GameyGaming the rise of social media in the years this game has been out have definitely helped this game. I think just understanding internet algorithms and fanbases can widen your audience a ton
@@MysteryMusic512 that’s very true, understanding social media has almost evolved nowadays into an artform, or at least a skill you have to master to be successful
This is just like one of my Japanese animes….
As someone who has been supporting My Singing Monsters almost since it's release, it's WILD the amount of random popularity it's getting. It comes with it's pros and cons, and I'm willing to accept the trend with open arms. The quiet resilience of the Monster-Handlers has finally payed off!
Speaking of that resilience, isn't it kinda crazy that they release 2 new islands EVERY YEAR, even during the low points? If that isn't passion, I don't know WHAT is.
True the devs care Abut communty and the game
Yeah, its cool that this is happening :)
Im so glad this game is finally reviving, the community used to be so big yet tiny at the same time, it’s like the community of MSM wasn’t expanding but wasn’t dying, this game was a HUGE part of my childhood.
From someone who is very active in the community and has been playing since 2013, I approve 👍
I did NOT expect you here!
it is ghostympa hello
So you have been playing since Ethereal or Shugabush Island came out 0_0
I decided to get My Singing Monsters again as a joke, and eventually getting some of my friends into it. This was before the massive wave of popularity. Then, I realised that My Singing Monsters started spreading through my school. I started seeing it way more often, and heard people talking about it sometimes. It's funny because as soon as I start playing it again, there is a massive spike in popularity.
Bro thats the same exact thing i did
It was the same with me wtf
Also, here’s a reason on why I believed the game sparked up so high.
Updates.
Plain and simple.
Their updates such as new island, monsters, etc. have been improving the game and its success, and while its successors aren’t getting as much love, they are still liked by many.
Because it has became popular in tiktok and of course anything influenced by tiktok became absolute hit
I've played this game and most of it's spinoffs (actually I think I have played all of them except for Furcorn's Jelly Dreams because it doesn't exist) and I am really happy this series got a lot more attention as of lately. It is one of the 3 good things that stiktok has done to humanity
the fact that every anniversary year past few years now have had something big happen with the game just shows the sheer dedication that the big blue bubble team have for MSM. what's truly the most insane thing about this game though is the fact that this game has lore.
Edit: and just like that they're waking up the islands now so we're probably going to see a new era for this game very soon.
I'm a msm og and I'm so happy to see its back. I never grew out of it. The community before 2022 was extremely tiny and chill, there are like 3 popular msm youtubers out there. I'm so happy to see videos on this jem from people who haven't played it for years. Thank you 😊.
As an OG Fan of My Singing Monsters that's been following this game for years I've gotta say that I am IMPRESSED with the growth of this game. I'm surprised it still stands tall after a decade. I never thought after that one memorable ad this game would grow to fame. I'm just hoping Gen Z doesn't ruin the game like how they sometimes do. It's a genuienly good game with lots of work and heart put into it! The community is loveable and I hope that doesn't get ruined.
The lore/history of the series is starting to be pieced together, so you’ll be impressed with how far the story goes with what little information we do have!
And the new islands are absolutely incredible, don’t overlook a single island at all!!!
“Gen Z” is the main audience old fart you can thank them for making memes and keeping the game alive or it would have been dead nostalgia can’t keep shit alive by itself
@LeBron James hasn't really been "dead" for a decade
@lebronjames4871 They are adding new monsters like crazy, it had me hooked for quite a few months and i progressed a ton. I stopped playing it but its insane how much dedication they have and they have created new islands this year.
@LeBron James on its last limb by…. Getting a giant resurgence, and constantly working and updating over the course of a decade…. Yeah, real “dead, last limb behaviour.” I can tell you don’t actually play this game lol
I literally saw an ad on this game years ago and kinda thought it was scary lol, but my friends told me I had to play it, so I did, knowing I’d delete it the same day, I got addicted, and now here I am, stuck playing this game over and over again without losing any joy from it, I can’t believe I had seen the game so many years beforehand, if I had just started playing the game when I saw the ad, I can’t imagine what my stats would be like today!
Same here if i ever stayed playing back in 2015-2016 i started playing like a month or something already got seasonal rare monsters ect
So glad to be a part of this community. Amazing to see you make a video about this! Remember; You're all Wubtastic!
ive been playing msm since 2013, and seeing the community grow this quickly makes my life complete.
played this wayyy back in the day when i was younger, and then early 2022 i rediscovered it. its cool how the game is suddenly starting to take off in popularity. thank you mr terror guy, very cool
I’ve been a huge fan of the game for many years, and it’s been a big part of my life for a while. On one hand, I’m a bit worried that the mostly-niche fanbase will soon end up like other communities such as Minecraft, but on the other hand I’m honestly pretty happy with its newfound success (which I DEFINITELY did not expect). It’s such an amazing franchise with so many passionate developers, artists and composers behind it. So even if it does continue to rise in popularity, it deserves every last bit of it.
I have followed this franchise since the beggining and it makes me happy to see how far they have come
*also Magical Sanctum is the best song and you can't change my mind*
Magical Sanctum is a w i agree
I prefer mythical island, you can't change my mind
@@joaovictornogueira323 Understandable, have a nice day
@@joaovictornogueira323 how about mythical island, magical sanctum and bone island are the best
@@mimaaellian2678 Yeah true
I've stuck with this game for almost a decade. I'm so glad people are giving it the attention it deserves.
I’ve been quite pleased to see my singing monsters to finally receive the popularity it has gotten. The amount of love and effort put into the game is incredible, not only that but the music is just as amazing. I’ve played since 2013 and i’ve loved it ever since, its inspired me to make music and art. The game is just incredible and i’m happy to see it grow.
thank you for making this great video to shortly cover its history, editing and quality is fantastic.
(the cheesiest thing i’ve written bro 😭😭 literally hate the tiktok community though dude its so garbage ☠️☠️☠️)
Writing in coherent sentences is so cheesy 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
🤦🏽♂️
As a msm player, I love the game so much because,unlike most world building games, you can get gems in organic means by just playing a bit and getting either a mine or zynth farm
Hey, Ive been watching your vids for awhile. And holy moly you have over 200k now. Thanks for making a video about msm, I really wasn’t expecting that lol
Hello
This video is absolutely amazing, ive been in the msm community since 2020 and seeing it blow up like this really makes me glad for the game. This video is easily one of the best videos covering my singing monsters, if not big blue bubbles whole history.
I've been an MSM fan since October 2013 so seeing it hit the mainstream has been really surreal
I joined in 2017 and still actively playing. I love watching the game grow up! Especially the improvements of the songs and animation!
It's amazing to see a game i've been playing for 9+ years now grow to an immense popularity like this. It's nice to see it grow like this because I remember back in 2015-2016 when the community was so small and there were only like 2-3 large creators. Since then many more have arrived and now there is more competition. Many of the old creators though have either retried, faded into obsurity, or just simply stepped down from their high positions in the community. I will miss many of them, but I also welcome the new creators who can bring new ideas to the table. I am proud to have been in the My Singing Monsters community long enough to see it start, fall, enter the golden age, fall again, and then grow to what it is now (by fall I don't mean disappear I mean a long period of time without new creators or content being made.)
Msmpokegamer, Diane delsig and wbangca were the popular ones back then right?
@@AlanRobinsonArun I'm not entirely sure if Msmpokegamer was around then, I never really payed attention to him. Though, the other two were the champs of the old community, sadly both of them kinda faded away. The first MSM youtube content I ever watched was from Diane. The first play your part contest is when I started watching the community actively.
@@Fowltree Im pretty sure that msmpokegamer was quite big back then because I remember watching his videos at the time. Diane quit I think and wbangca's channel died sadly
@@AlanRobinsonArun Yeah, MSMPokegamer probably was big back then as well, he always was for what I can remember. I just don't remember watching his videos back then, even though I probably did.
I came back to the game but i did play in 2015-2016
I've been getting My Singing Monsters shorts on my Recommended and now there's a full ass video
Oh my god I remember getting an ad for this game on my crappy iPad constantly. How is they nostalgic
I have been playing this game since 2012, and it is one of my favorite games of all-time. I am really happy it is resurging in popularity. I love this game because the singing aspect, every monster adding their own piece to the song really adds an incentive to collect more monsters, and the songs in this game are iconic (especially plant island). Thank you for doing a review on this game that I love so much.
I just remembered this game a few months ago, and I felt really nostalgic about it so I decided to download it again. Personally, all of the advertisements are annoying to me, but it brings back good memories about when I was younger. Amazing video btw!
I started playing msm kinda early, (I think around 2016 or 2015) and honestly I love this game and it deserves all the attention it got
Edit: I think the composer app exists is because it has way more stuff you can do than composer island, it has more monsters, and a much more advanced way to compose them. and since its another app, its more likely to draw in people who use it to compose ACTUAL songs so you won't get a bunch of memes like on composer island
I've always loved this game since it's Ethereal Island update, watching this game grow, die, grow, die again, and than absolutely SPIKE in popularity was one of the best journeys of my life, seeing the game grow and it's playerbase was truly fascinating, and all the way worth it.
A ton of people in a TF2 discord server I'm in just got active on their old MSM accounts again (me included) so this video was a well-timed surprise.
9 years ago my friend and I would be so addicted to Maw, and whenever he started singing we would turn our ipods' volumes to the max and stick them in our ears to listen.
I've been playing My Singing Monsters since 2015, it's crazy to see how popular it's been getting recently!
Brooo I rediscovered MSM 2 years ago in summer. I remembered having the game downloaded as a kid, and was like ‘hey, I never finished the islands, I wonder what they sounded like?’ Looked up the songs and instantly got hooked again. (Shoutout to msmpokegamer for single-handedly carrying the fandom on his back!!!)
I love the game!! There’s so much care in it and the musical skill is genuinely so good. Every monster is so unique and I adore the monster handlers and their attitude haha. I’m so glad everyone’s finally paying attention to it. Hail Galvana everybody
Seeing My Singing Monsters peak in player count in the past few months has…well, peaked my interest on how that came to be, but it came to the simple answer of TikTok fame. Aside of that, it’s mostly the updates that the game brings with new monsters, and islands to discover, as well as new songs to build up.
Also to fix an error in the video, My Singing Monsters Dawn of Fire is the game’s prequel, not sequel. Dawn of Fire takes place in the past before the continent split apart, before it was formed into the monster world that’s in the main game.
Edit: The My Singing Monsters Composer app is meant to be an extension of the Composer Island in the main game, but with more monsters to use in the song, and more options to use than originally before in the original game.
MattShea also had a play in MSM getting revived. Many have stated going back into the game because of him and many like myself have played the game for the first time because of him.
Makes me super happy to see it back, I remember playing it when I was 8 or 9. Good times.
super early! I've loved msm ever since it came out,(I LOST ALL MY PROGRESS >:( ) its always had so much passion and love put into it and im so glad you decided to make a video on it T3rr0r!
as a prevalent editor of the wiki, as well as a pretty frequent player (just look at my pfp) im both glad, and distraught at the surge in popularity, because if it gets too popular, itll lose its niche, obscureish, mobile game charm
yeah
i was obsessed with the game years ago, ive become deathly obsessed again and I couldn't be any happier msm is getting the attention it's always deserved
5:46 because the separate app has a LOT more content than the little island version within the MSM game :D
Thank you for talking about this, my singing monsters is my favorite game
This guy is the embodiment of the question:” Hey remember that game we played when we were young? I wonder what happened to it”
I've had my account since early 2015. I picked it up every now and then, but in 2023 I really became invested again. Then the whole facebook thing happened, and I got logged out until recently. Now I'm getting back to it. You'd think I'd be a pro by now, but I'm just level 21.. lol.
The only thing I’m worried about with the new popularity it’s gaining right now is the fan base becoming too big and becoming toxic or problematic, but it’s been a while and it hasn’t happened, so i have hope for the future because they’re releasing updates frequently and the community isn’t bored.
If the my singing monsters’ community becomes toxic, then I’m blaming TikTok
i wouldnt say toxic, but sometimes players can be annoying on trashing on islands and being insatisfied by everything
@@joaovictornogueira323 yea the thing I’ve found most annoying recently was the amount of people asking for 1000 diamonds for Christmas (they got mad when they got 25) and the people advertising their tribes in people’s comments
I was one of those people who downloaded the game in 2013-
Another thing is that a lot of the time the monsters mostly do their own thing yet in a way that doesn't sound cacophonous... and it blends well, like in Mythical Island. It's currently incomplete but you have one monster doing spacey harp effects, one being an entire jungle percussion ensemble, and one that yodels- and yet it somehow blends together really well. It's the kind of music that you can't really get anywhere else.
BBB never expected that tiktok revived a game made 10 years ago
One of the biggest reasons why my singing monsters is so fun for me, is how on games like clash of clans, sometimes it’s entertaining just to stare at your base for a while, and just mess around with the layout. In my singing monsters, that’s the entire objective of the game. And while there’s a huge progression, and as of now PvP aspect to the game, at the end of the day it’s all just sitting around and listening to your monsters sing.
I have and still am playing My Singing Monsters - ever since 2014. (New account in 2016.) Still one of my favorite games out there!
im new to msm. i fell in love quickly with the monsters, their designs and their songs. specially mammott. they're all so cute and goofy. i don't usually like this kind of gameplay but i absolutely love it here
I never expected you to cover this
Ikr
@@Fire_Oasis_Gaming it's the one and only Fire Oasis Gaming
@@uiinpui umm yeah so?
@@Fire_Oasis_Gaming I see you everywhere around this community and have seen a few of your videos... that's it lol
@@uiinpui oh okay
I have been with this game since the beginning, seeing it trying to revive is beutiful! Thanks for making this masterpiece video!
I'm surprised you didn't even mention the my singing monsters FanMade community (people that make their own islands and monsters)
I think a big part of it was the massive increase of high quality content, specifically the epic wubboxes. These have also been the spotlight of many memes in the community, and I think that they alone contribute to a large success of the franchise as it is right now.
The game was never dead, the game was always doing good
As someone who played MSM, CoC, Dragon City, and Monster Legends, what kept me playing MSM to this day is the passion that is clearly put into every aspect of the game. The other games (Especially Dragon City) felt more and more pay to win as you progressed. MSM? It always felt like they WANTED you to progress, though the process can be a bit of a tedious waiting game at times, it pays off with a new addition to the island song. The way each monster is so thoughtfully designed from their names to their sound. The lore behind the game. I've been playing since 2013, I've got a lot of memories with this game. I'm happy to see it doing well. I've gotten the younger family members into the game so that they may have their own fond memories of funny cartoon monsters
That was a perfect assessment on why My Singing Monsters is the best game in the genre.
I stopped playing this game years ago, but I'm still impressed by how over the years, they made tens of great songs and animation with new and different monsters doing different parts.
Yeah, I saw it all go down. I've been an MSM player and fan since 2015 and I saw how it rised. It was mainly the Cold Island song. It started trending about two months ago and people started getting invested in it, along with the Earth Island song. That also supported it's rise
My favorite game of all time still a good game to this day.
I’ve been playing msm clash of clans and boom beach since 2013 and I still love them all, absolute masterpieces
Oh my god. I remember playing this in olden days. I still play it now, but I kinda stopped playing it.
Same…
I had that thing right when Light Island released quite a while ago, but I came back on September 2021 and I was really happy I started playing again at that time. So many updates are happening and the 10th anniversary was decently good. Nowadays I am slowely backing away from the game. I think when the next big update comes I will have something to do again, but now I will go and play MSM Composer until some interesting stuff happens with the main game.
@@uiinpui I feel the same. But with all the giant events on the game I feel the game is moving too fast, making new rares, epics, and releasing new monsters. I can’t even finish an island without BBB releasing 3 more
I've been obsessed with MSM since launch. Still obsessed to this day. Also, I now have two ghazts. Very exciting. I also have all four werdos, and you wanna know the craziest part? I didn't spend a single penny. I just got really lucky with the when spin from the castle, and really lucky with breeding. I got both ghazts from trying to breed rare bowgart. Funny how the world works.
9:25 holy crap nostalgia overload
Frfr
Real buffer overflow of nostalgia
Just a week ago I was looking for a video like this. And it definitely delivered.
0:11 I remember that one video
Thank you so much for covering this. I was so confused as to why this game was being joked about by people I thought never played mobile games.
MSM was honestly really creative on the already existing concept. Slowly building a song by breeding monsters is WAY more creative than just buying random dragons to fight them or buying a 5000 pack of clash of clans gems so you can get that level 14 Town Hall without having to grow old and die 5 times over.
Also MSM composer is basically an expanded version of Composer Island. You can use basically EVERY monster, not just naturals from the first 5 islands. Rares and Epics also have their own sounds. You can place more than 1 note per line allowing for more variety, and in general it’s a 10x better music maker than the main composer island.
I redownloaded the game just now and its actualy fun, i also installed it in 2013 but i didnt understand the mechanics of how to get new monsters and "likes"
It died again
it didn’t it just got less popular
Thank you so much man. I love my singing monsters so much and you making a video about it is so awesome. If you ever need another mobile game company to cover I would SO recommend Mediocre Games there games are not at all mediocre, they have made games that are so great gameplay wise and graphically. They managed to make free mobile games that manage to look better than a 60 dollar switch game. So yeah. Mediocre Games has made some of the most underrated masterpieces. PLUS, no one on RUclips has ever covered this company so you can have a completely original video. I hope you see this comment and that I gave enough good reasons why you should cover this mobile game company.

Hi
hello
Hi
I remember being in this community, people used to make videos about their own fanmade monsters, hell, even made islands in it, the videos were like watching from the island you have (like earth or cold), they even made their own elements also, like rubber island by mantisgirl
If you don't know who mantisgirl nor what rubber island is, go search it up, it's really cool
I used to play MSM a lot as a kid but as I grew older I forgot about it. Since rediscovering it in 2022 I've been playing the game every single day, just like when I was a kid. I think MSM is the most fun game in this genre out there as getting new monsters builds up entire songs and it's so rewarding hearing the songs get better and better as you play.
It's one of the goats of mobile games for sure, was one of the first mobile games that I actually played for extended amount of time and didn't just download for a few weeks and then get rid of, after not playing it for years I got it again around this time last year and I still play it all the time
I love MSM so seeing T3rror revive it is great.
I've been a huge fan of this game ever since summer of 2014 when I was 5 years old, and now I'm 14 and I still love it to this day. I can't believe it's growing so much in recent years because of TikTok. One thing to note about this game is that is also has insane lore, some of which hasn't been 100% confirmed yet.
As someone who’s been playing this game since it first came out when I was a little baby seven/eight year old, I’m very excited to see what this video has in store for me :)
I genuinely love this game. The music is great fore one, but I just love how much passion is put into it.
I started playing in 2014 and I gotta say, the game has changed A LOT and I was so surprised to actually see popular youtubers start making videos on MSM recently because the game itself wasn't really that popular, it only has quite a lot of reviews because it is an old game so it received those reviews overtime.
I’m so happy that it came back in a big way since this was my childhood. I played from 2013 (when it started to be big) to 2017-2018, then got bored and stopped.. Until my friend started playing at school and went directly back to the game since November of this year and I’m so happy that I can actually enjoy at a mobile game again! MSM forever!
My code is 1023791558GK I will light torches, gift keys, etc!!!
i grew tired of the dragon and coc games pretty quickly but msm kept me playing it. it was always excited to know how they sound. each time i put down a monster, the music changes
ive been playing msm ever since it came out, im so happy seeing how far its come
Airport Security:What's this large object in your bag?
Me: Bom Bom Bom
Yoooo, a T3RR0R msm video! Although, medium sized MSM communities already existed before tiktok.
I never played it, but I had always wanted to. I remember when I was younger watching my brother play it when I was younger and being obsessed, haha. The thing that made me think about it again was people using the song for cold island as an animation meme, I’m glad it’s popular again honestly, I didn’t realize how much I’d missed it
Honestly, this made me want to play it again, I used to play it in 2020 and earlier and I have quit 2 times (the first time being before the pandemic and the second time in 2021) and now in 2022, I might play it again just for the lulz. I mean, I have gotten more grindy lately with my gameplay being able to grind more easily (thanks pokemon go) and now I think I can handle this games long waittimes. I mean, I gotten very far as a kid but I don't think I knew what I was doing.
Overall happy 10 years and I hope this game continues to be a success.
I remembered this game and re-download it in the summer before it blew up again
And wow. Watching it go from fame to slowly withering to fame again makes me so proud. This game is so awesome. There's so much love put into it. The fact it was still getting updated, and a lot was pretty crazy
I’ve had the same account since my friend told about the game in 5th grade, I am now in 11th grade shocked that my friends are getting into it also getting me back into after a few years
I played this game when it was first release on the play store, saw one of its ads pop up while i watch an ad to get a pro pack on mini militia. Tjen downloaded it then play the living heck out of it. My og acc had been lost rip to all my rares but after a few more years.
I came back on for the Magical Sanctum update that is now my current account, i had miss alot of new content since.
I used to play MSM in 2015 so happy it's being recognised by much more now
I can finally say that I did something long before a tiktok trend. started again like 1,5 years ago after a loooooong pause. The last time I played there were only the natural Islands before returning. No need to say it, but I was so amazed by what they've done.
I'm not an old player like most people but being an animator on RUclips I had seen animation memes with cold island as the sang and I decided to start playing. I'm quickly falling in love wth the game! This is my first full week having the game and I can see why it's really good
