List of songs in Smash
Smash is an American musical series that premiered on NBC, Monday, February 6, 2012.[1][2][3]
It was announced on June 9, 2011, that NBC had signed a deal with Columbia Records for a soundtrack of the series. The deal gave Columbia world-wide, digital and physical rights to the first season, with options to subsequent seasons. The deal included both original songs written for the series and any covers of songs featured on the show.[4]
By the end of the first season, 36 studio recordings of the show's musical performances were released, 31 of them on iTunes[5] and five with the deluxe edition of the first season soundtrack.
The first season soundtrack, The Music of Smash, was released on May 1, 2012.[6] A deluxe edition,[7] with additional songs, was available exclusively from Target until early 2013.
A second soundtrack album from the show, Bombshell, which serves as the "cast album" for Bombshell, the main show-within-the-show, was released on February 12, 2013, in standard[8] and deluxe versions,[9] the latter again exclusively from Target.
A third soundtrack album, The Music of Smash: The Complete Season 1, was released digitally exclusively by iTunes on May 21, 2013.[10] It consists of 36 songs that had been previously released for Season 1, either as singles or on the previous soundtrack albums, including the deluxe Target edition of The Music of Smash (which is currently out of print).
A fourth soundtrack album, The Music of Smash: The Complete Season 2, was released digitally exclusively by iTunes on May 21, 2013.[11] It consists of 51 songs from the second season, including three that hadn't previously been released during the season.

Season 2
The second season features original music from four different fictional musicals, Bombshell, Beautiful, Hit List and Liaisons, as well as ancillary songs written by the fictional songwriters behind Bombshell and Hit List. All of the songs have music and lyrics by Wittman and Shaiman, except for the songs from Hit List, which for the most part were written by a combination of other musical theater writers and contemporary rock singer-songwriters. The use of additional songwriters was done in part to "open up the sound" of Smash.[12]
