Urapopstar, known also as URAPS, is a multiplayer browser-based role-playing game, which parodies the music industry with virtual popstars, record labels and a record chart.

The game is played by creating a virtual popstar and promoting their singles and albums in the Urapopstar promotion forum, with the aim of achieving the highest position possible in the top 40 singles and albums chart. Promotion may consist of fabricated tabloid news articles and artwork for the virtual act’s releases.
