Smash Hits Magazine
Did anyone on here ever read the music magazine Smash Hits. I did and thought it was quite good. Shame it came to an end.

I remember reading it back in the mid 90's, when it used to cover the indie scene.
Stopped reading it when it became a manufactured pop band vehicle. Still got some of the old Smash Hits tapes somewhere. |

Smash Hits was a good magazine. The photos, lyrics, and interviews with the bands and singers. There hasn't really been anything like it since on sale.

I loved Smash Hits it was the only magazine I got every week when I was younger. The lyrics, posters, free gifts (I used to pretend those tattoos were real
) were great - well when your a child/teenager they are They always had Take That stuff too which was good for me

I Liked it but it became far too aimed at girls, I stopped buying it the week they gave away lip gloss as a gift and never bought it again.
It was much better than TOTP Magazine though, that was awful really |

Yeah, I used to read it donkey's years ago. It used to be really funny and sarcastic sometimes, which was great. You had good journalists like David Hepworth and Mark Ellen and Neil Tennant.
It was always good for the song lyrics as well. Chris Skelton on Ashes To Ashes last night was reading a copy from 1981 which I think I've still got in my attic somewhere. |

Not forgetting the strange Smash Hits free gifts e.g Adam Rickitt inflatable head or Eminem belt. The downfall of Smash Hits was that by the end you were paying for these as it was under £1 around 1998 but nearly £2 by the end.
Also I remember Number One used to print the single covers to the Top 10 but stopped doing it when they changed from printing the Network Chart to the Official Chart. |

OMG, there are some blasts from the past here! I read Smash Hits in the mid 90's but I think it went too cheesy in the late 90's/ early 00's.
I also fondly remember Big! (My absoloute fave magazine!) Fast Forward, TV Hits, Live and Kicking, Number One, J17, Shout, Bliss, Chatterbox. Happy days! |
