	Smash Hits falls victim to fans' eclectic tastes and internet \| \| Guardian Unlimited Business
		Smash Hits, the magazine that postered teenage bedrooms across Britain for nearly 30 years, is to close after its mix of pop lyrics and heart-throb interviews lost its appeal with young readers.
		Smash Hits has seen its circulation decline from a height of 1m in 1989, when Kylie and Jason graced the cover, to 120,000 as it lost out in the competition for "bedroom time" to the internet and mobile phones.
		He added that the closure of Smash Hits due to its teen audience moving onto digital platforms was not a gloomy portent for the magazine industry.

	Farewell to Smash Hits \| \| Guardian Unlimited Arts
		Smash Hits, with its impertinent tone and peculiar sense of humour (as one former writer pointed out, the magazine's standard line of questioning was never, "What's your favourite colour?" but "What colour is a Thursday?") seemed to understand that perfectly.
		But Smash Hits was about to change: out went the marginal stuff and in came blanket coverage of teen pop, then undergoing a massive revival in fortunes, thanks to Adam and the Ants and the Human League.
		The latter was responsible for a genuinely telling Smash Hits moment that revealed both something about the brilliance of the magazine and the cultural richness not of 80s teen pop, but of 80s teen pop stars.

	BBC NEWS \| Entertainment \| The lasting legacy of Smash Hits
		Smash Hits, which is to close after 28 years, was the bible for many teenagers discovering their musical tastes in the 1980s and 1990s.
		In 1981, it is rumoured that the then Smash Hits editor David Hepworth sent a memo to record companies saying he intended "to reverse the entire direction" of pop music publishing in favour of trivia, demanding to know the colour of their artists' socks.
		Smash Hits was the brainchild of former NME man Nick Logan, who thought about calling his protegee pop bible Disco Fever.

	Smash Mouth - Biography - AOL Music
		The follow-up album, Astro Lounge, was released in 1999, generating the hit "All Star"; a collection of early material, East Bay Sessions, also appeared that same year.
		Though no other hits with equal weight were forthcoming from Astro Lounge, the band's work of the early 2000s (2001's Smash Mouth and 2003's Get the Picture?) pleased fans of sparkling pop music.
		The group also contributed numerous tracks to a plethora of motion pictures, most notably their cover of the Monkees' "I'm a Believer" (from their eponymous release) to the soundtrack of 2001's hit movie Shrek, and many of these then appeared on the August 2005 Smash Mouth hits collection All Star Smash Hits.

	Smash Hits (album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Smash Hits was the first compilation album released by The Jimi Hendrix Experience in 1968 in the UK and 1969 in the United States.
		Containing their first 4 UK singles (and their respective B-sides) in addition to 4 standout tracks from Are You Experienced, Smash Hits became exactly that - a #5 album in the UK and one that had a long chart life.
		Jimi's then-record label, Reprise Records, felt that a greatest hits collection was far too premature and waited until mid-1969 (and, coincidentally, the break-up of the band once Noel Redding suddenly quit) to issue a different version of the same album.

		But now Smash Hits is to close - robbing future generations of the chance to Blutac pictures of their pop heroes with the magazine's logo emblazoned in the corner.
		"But Smash Hits has been a pioneering force in pop and we can look back fondly on the last 28 years." The teen mag was the brainchild of former NME editor Nick Logan.
		Smash Hits championed the cynicism of the 90s a decade early, but then the competition caught up and the rot set in.

		With all the Hendrix collections available now, the re-release of 1969's "Smash Hits" seems a little irrelevant except for the historic fact that it was the first actual compilation of the Jimi Hendrix Experience and its been out of print for many years.
		I read somewhere that this is the first time "Smash Hits" has been on CD, which is not true because I used to own it.
		Something I never understood is why there is nothing on "Smash Hits" from their second album, "Axis: Bold as Love", but that's not important because that album is essential in itself.

	Smash Mouth : All Star Smash Hits - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Then, a closer inspection of the liner notes to their first hits collection, All Star Smash Hits (well, what else was it going to be called?), reveals an answer.
		All Star Smash Hits proves that the group was indeed good enough, arguably better than Sugar Ray, their closest rival among SoCal ska-punk/metal bands to shamelessly grab the brass ring.
		Sugar Ray rocked harder and were more diverse, but Smash Mouth found their groove -- a summery update on pre-Beatles frat rock as learned via Animal House, early-'80s T&A movies, and new wave -- early on and then stayed in it, aided by Greg Camp's lean, tuneful, hooky songwriting and good taste in covers.

		Smash Mouth's 2005 All Star Smash Hits, is a packaged collection of their biggest tracks from their era in the top 40.
		Some critics deride Smash Mouth as a middle-of-the-road rock band with no real backbone to them, but as a fan I can say that rock bands don't always need to be the Biggest, Best, and Loudest to be great.
		This greatest hits collection is a perfect sampler of all their best stuff as well as songs from various soundtracks (Shrek, Can't Hardly Wait, etc.), all in one place.

		With few actually being "hits," and there only being 2 albums to work with, the fan is presented with basically half of each album on one disc.
		The CD appropriately begins with "Smash Hit," followed by 4 other songs from their self-titled debut.
		Although this collection would have been best held off after 3 or 4 albums released, Smash Hits is a must-have for fans and a good way to introduce should-be fans to their music.

		Smash Hits leaves out some of the best All Star United songs like 'I Need You Now' from International Anthems.

	Hendrix's Smash Hits--Masterful Music, Limited Scope - Associated Content
		Most "greatest hits" albums are collections of the most popular and well-known hits of a particular performer or group, usually pieced together over a career or at least an extensive period of time, and with the intention of providing a good, definitive look at the musical catalogue of the performer or group.
		Smash Hits, while musically superb, disappoints me in a couple of ways.
		First, Hendrix really had no "smash hits"--in 1969, FM radio was largely a wasteland, and most AM stations wouldn't play the Hendrix brand of psychedelic blues.

	CD Reviews: Review of All Star Smash Hits by Smash Mouth
		While no statistics are currently available to actually back up the statement that will follow the next comma, there is reason to believe that there is no-one remaining on the planet who ever needs to hear the song “All Star” ever again.
		Anyone who blew their money on Fush Yu Mang (the band’s debut) because they thought the whole album would be as good as its first single will be pleased to have access to the song without all the excess baggage with which it was originally packaged.
		That farfisa beat never fails to scream Smash Mouth, and Steve Harwell’s voice is a distinctive one....so much so, unfortunately, that twenty songs in a row may be a bit too much for some to take.

	Smash Mouth - All Star Smash Hits : Music from Overstock.com
		San Jose, California`s Smash Mouth first hit the mainstream with 1997`s "Walkin` on the Sun," a groove-heavy, `60s-inspired tune (replete with singer Steve Harwell`s faux-British accent) that made the quartet instant rock-radio fixtures.
		Those who thought the pop-punk band couldn`t top that initial hit were proven wrong by 1999`s catchy and utterly inescapable "All Star," which became perpetually in demand at sporting events.
		There`s a notable number of covers on ALL STAR SMASH HITS, including a ska-tinged take on War`s "Why Can`t We Be Friends," a driving rendition of Let`s Active`s "Every Word Means No," and a faithful version of the Neil Diamond-penned Monkees classic "I`m a Believer" from the animated blockbuster SHREK.
