How to unlock the Millionaire Club achievement in Rock Band 3 - Definitive Guide
You can use any song you want, but you must not fail out of it to get the achievement.
For the sake of curiosity I got this with an Expert Drums, Vocals, Guitar and an Easy Keys player on "Smoke on the Water". Although one of the guys online said he already got this with a full Hard band on "Llama".
The following are the longest songs available on RB3 as downloadable songs. These will likely help you get it even if you play at a lower difficulty than Expert:
"The Who Super Bowl S-mashup" by The Who
"Jailbreak" (Live) by AC/DC (from AC/DC Live)
"The Camera Eye" by Rush
"I Heard it Through the Grapevine" by Creedence Clearwater Revival
"...And Justice For All" by Metallica
"Green Grass and High Tides" by The Outlaws (from Rock Band 1)
"Let There Be Rock" (Live) - AC/DC (from AC/DC Live)
"Homecoming" - Green Day (from Green Day)
"Jesus of Suburbia" - Green Day (from Green Day)
"High Voltage" (Live) - AC/DC (from AC/DC Live)
"Descend into the Eternal Pits of Possession" by The Project Hate MCMXCIX (from Rock Band Network)
"I MAED A GAM3 W1TH Z0MB1ES 1NIT!!1!" by James Silva (from Rock Band Network)
The 'goal' is situated in Rock Band Mastery - Score - Millionaire Club
Scoring system:
Note streak:
10 - x2 (1 phrase)
20 - x3 (2 phrases)
30 - x4 (3 phrases)
40 - x5 (Bass and Pro-Bass only)
50 - x6 (Bass and Pro-Bass only)
Harmonies/Vocals (Each Awesome phrase on difficulties):
Easy: 200 (20 for each harmony part)
Medium: 400 (40 for each harmony part)
Hard: 800 (80 for each harmony part)
Expert: 1000 (100 for each harmony part)
Guitar/Bass/Keys:
25 points a note. Chords are 25 times the number of notes in the chord but only counts as one note to the streak.
Pro is the same but at 60 points a note.
Drums:
25 points a note. Two notes played together are separate notes for the streak.
Pro is 30 points a note, except in the case where if you are supposed to play a cymbal, and you haven't selected it in settings as a cymbal you choose to play (so it would be charted on the track as a "normal" note) then those are 25 points.
I.E. If you want a maximum score on Pro Drums, you need to play with all three cymbals.
Bonuses
For Big Rock Endings try and play randomly and as fast as possible. I noticed that for Guitar, Bass and (Pro) Keys that if you continuously play the same notebutton over and over again the score doesn't go wildly high as it would as if you were playing different notes. Try playing Glissandos if you are on Keys or have Solo Buttons on the guitar.
This isn't so much of a problem for Drums and Pro Guitar/Bass. Just keep hitting or strumming away.
Just be sure to nail the final notes!
For tambourine sections on just keep tapping away on the Microphone or the A button on the controller. The points for tambourine sections are only given as a bonus at the end of the section rather than points for every note. The score is based on how many notes you had to hit and how many you did hit. It is similar with Guitar and Drum solos, but the bonus is on top of the normal note scoring. For Drum solos you do not get Drum fills or any chances to activate overdrive, be careful.
Overdrive gives the band a 2x multiplier for the band from each instrument that activates it.
Instruments:
Guitar-Hard/Expert
Bass-Hard/Expert

Expert Mode with Guitar Bass Mic and Drums. Wasn't really that bad as I am a Expert Bass player.
Feel free to invite me if you need a Bass player
I did it with a Full Band and got 1.140.000 Points.
Vocals - Expert (Vocals alone can get around 350.000 Points without Overpower, 99% or 100%)
Bass,Guitar, Drums - Medium or Hard
On Vocals wait for the End of the Overpower-Segments to start Overpower.
The other Instruments wait for the Vocals to start Overpower for a massive multiplier.
The only other advice I can give - and this goes for ANY song and ANY instrument combination - use your overdrive wisely! Launch it on all instruments at the same time (even if it is a quiet vocals part!). Using the above example, with 3 instruments, it will give you a 6x band multiplier. That is effectively 24x for your guitarist and 36x for the bassist if you are in a groove. Your score skyrockets during these moments.
This can be done with as few as two people, but more people make it far easier. You can choose a long song like Heard it Through the Grapevine (DLC) and have an easier time of this, but this can also be accomplished with only two people on Free Bird if they can play almost perfectly on Expert Drums and Guitar or Bass. I did this playing very well on Expert Bass while singing with a mic stand on Expert Vocals, while my partner gave a gold star performance on Expert Drums. If you get four people for this, not everyone needs to play on Expert as the 8x multiplier from having everyone in overdrive at the same time provides a massive boost, so be aware of that. You can find a group in the Achievement Trading Thread here.
You can't get this one alone. You'll need at least a 2-person band, but it's easier with 3 or 4. It's recommended to have all the players on Hard or Expert. Choose a song that everyone can play without making too many mistakes.
Also, make sure that everyone activates overdrive at the same time, to increase the score multiplier.
