Smash Hits was a British music magazine aimed at young adults, originally published by EMAP. It ran from 1978 to 2006,[1] and, after initially appearing monthly, was issued fortnightly during most of that time. The name survived as a brand for a spin-off digital television channel, which was later renamed Box Hits, and website. A digital radio station was also available but closed on 5 August 2013.
