visions Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Well? What defines a SMASH to you? I’ve seen some extremely suspect usage of the word on ATRL and I would love if people could provide their insight. Post some of your favs more debatable “smashes” and let’s decide.

Into The Void Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 (edited) We Dont Talk Anymore and Attention would qualify as a smash (I think) There's Nothing Holding Me Back, Stitches, Treat You Better & Senorita all smashes Edited August 18, 2023 by Insanity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it’s a huge streaming hit, if something doesn’t go top 5 I have a hard time of calling it a smash. In fact if the song doesn’t feel at any point like it’s the biggest song out at the moment, I would rarely call it a smash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bliaz Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 (edited) I would define a smash as a song known, sung and danced to (if it is not a ballad) by people of all ages all over the country (if it is local) or all over the world or part of it. Time goes by and people still remember it. Not many songs achieve that effect and remain just a "hit". Edited August 18, 2023 by bliaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have probably gone top 5 if its radio peak wasnt so low Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamianSolo Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 You have good songs, then you have songs that are just explosively awesome. That, to me, is a "smash." I'm not a fan of letting the general masses determine what a "smash" is to me. Most "smashes" aren't on radio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
