Smash Hits

Smash Hits was invented by Nick Logan (he previously edited the New Musical Express during one of its most creative periods and went on to create '80s fashion bible The Face). Smash Hits was at its peak in the 1980s, launching the career of many respected journalists including Heat's editor Mark Frith. Neil Tennant of the Pet Shop Boys also worked as a writer. In the 1990s the magazine's circulation slumped and it was overtaken by the BBC's spin off magazine Top Of The Pops. Television presenter and journalist Kate Thornton was editor for a short time. The first issue was published in November 1978 (excepting a special preview dated September 1978) and featured Blondie on the cover. Initially the publication was monthly but switched to fortnightly the following year, which it has remained ever since. In 1984 an Australian version was created and proved just as successful for that new market as the original did back in Britain.
