SmashTV Anniversary Anthem

SmashTV Anniversary Anthem is a song written in 2009 by Diane Warren, Thomas Bangalter, and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo to celebrate SmashTV's 10th Anniversary. It was first recorded in a single day on December 15 2008 by The SmashTV Armada, a supergroup put together by Warren, Bangalter, and Manuel consisting mainly of 60 current and past singers. The single was released on January 9 2009, and was a success in the Billboard Hot 100 charts, charting at #1 on the Hot 100 on February 28th 2009 before being dethroned on March 28th by Flo Rida's Right Round. The song also had major success on other charts around the world including the UK.

The song was re-recorded in 2018 and released on January 9 2019 to celebrate SmashTV's 20th Anniversary.

The song itself sounds similar to Band Aid's Do They Know It's Christmas Time.

## Music Video

The original music video, directed by Spike Jonze, was released the same month the song was released. The video shows Daft Punk & The SmashTV Armada recording the song in the studio and behind backgrounds of video games that were associated with SmashTV in the past years, including *Super Mario 64, Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time,*and the *Super Smash Bros.*games.

A newer music video celebrating the 20th anniversary was released in January 2019, directed by Jonze once again. The video is the same thing, but with new singers and video games added in, including the most recent *Super Smash Bros.*games.
