"Something about the way you look tonight" - Elton John
It is rumoured that a few people bought this record for the B-side. People are strange.
A few more Smash Hits winners
Oasis - best indie band
Ronan Keating - best-dressed bloke
Diana Princess of Wales - hero
Peter Andre - sad loser of '97 -
"Barbie girl" - Aqua
Won the NME Brat Award for Worst Single of the year, which just shows how little NME readers knew then. Or now.
Back at Smash Hits, Dr "Neil" Fox won Best DJ, Paul Nicholls and Martine McCutcheon the acting gongs, Lily Savage the best comedy, and Men in Black the best film.
Had Smash Hits lived, I reckon "Barbie The Move" would have won its year. Easily.

"Encore une fois" / "Ecuador" / "Stay" - Sash!
Mate, we're not saying that all three of your hit singles follow the same formula and are completely interchangeable.
He didn't win a Smash Hits award - Best Dance Act went to Eternal (!). Some of the folk who did:
Backstreet Boys - Best Foreign Group, Album, Video
Louise - Most Fanciable Female, Best Solo Female Singer, Best Dressed Female
Kavana - Best Solo Male Singer -
Our mystery year was 1986.
Smash Hits magazine published a guide to perform the actions in "The chicken song", illustrated by top cartoonist Kipper Williams.

"Child" - Mark Owen
With Ronan Keating and Stephen Gateley presenting, this is the ceremonial handover of Most Fanciable Male in Pop ahead of Sunday's Smash Hits awards.
A backstage report from TCC's Lucie Cave, you say? But of course!

Anyway, a chap from the BBC Spanish Service wrote to Smash Hits about the translation of the lyric, and suggested that "la bamba" is the name of the dance, and perhaps shouldn't be translated as "the goat". He agreed that the lyric made little sense in Spanish or English.
(Image appears twice to fit the alt text in.)

Jings! Jings! Jings! Jings! Los Lobos are still number one with "La bamba".
Smash Hits gave a very loose translation of the lyric. "To dance the goat you need to have a little gracefulness", and so on.
If you're bored - perhaps stuck indoors with a fractured wrist - you might tweak the scansion of these mistranslated lines to fit the tune.

Obviously something went wrong with my brain as a teenager and I don’t know the difference between the real world and #SmashHits .

@Schnuckster Smash Hits archives may help.

There are some dark moments in this one, as the government give authorisation to fire a nuclear weapon at stone henge and the countries teenagers. The pilot plans to fire the missile and then kill himself #DoctorWho #Smashhits

The basic story here is that the Master encounters a boy band on the road and decides to become a member himself. There is a very unsubtle message here that these kids with their trendy music will destroy the world... #DoctorWho #Smashhits

#MikiBerenyi is such a great and interesting person. I am fascinated with how she walked away from music business… and thrived!
She has such good stories!
And has still been a creative person, living her life!This podcast is new to me… I loved SMASH HITS and the American version STAR HITS! The writers has such a particular pov and sense of humor that was a big influence on me.

"Like an animal" by Piqued Jacks for #SMRTV. The one with red.
Looks like Freddie Mercury, playing against something that's not the Rolling Stones' lips. And, yep, lies down on the job a-blimmin'-gain.
Can't help but wonder what #SmashHits would have made of this event. Probably a twelve-page spread written with glorious snark by Tom and Sylvia and Barry.
Sorry, he still singing?
