The Smiths Popular Song Ranking [2026] (1–10)
How Soon Is NowThe Smiths1rank/position
The Smiths, an indie rock band from the UK in the 1980s.
Originally a B-side, this track gained popularity and was later released as a single.
It’s a song I want to listen to when facing reality and feeling desperate.
There Is A Light That Never Goes OutThe Smiths2rank/position
A track from The Smiths, the godlike presence of the neo-acoustic scene, included on their 1986 album The Queen Is Dead.
Although it was never released as a single, many fans still consider it the best among their songs.
While it’s a ‘pure love’ song, it carries a touch of madness, and it might be called the ultimate love song.
Heaven Knows I’m Miserable NowThe Smiths3rank/position
One of The Smiths’ signature songs released as a single.
In the UK, it reached number 10 on the charts.
It’s a typically Morrissey-esque, contrarian number; from the music video’s bouquet attached to his backside to the breakup theme, it’s anything but sentimental.
The Headmaster RitualThe Smiths4rank/position
The Smiths were a British band active from 1982 to 1987, and they were popular among young people in the country.
“The Headmaster Ritual” is a track from the album “Meat Is Murder,” which reached number one on the UK charts.
Unhappy BirthdayThe Smiths5rank/position
The Smiths, a British rock band.
Their international recognition wasn’t all that high, but within the UK they inspired a passionate fan base, and despite a very short activity period of only five years, they’ve continued to be supported by many fans.
A song by them that I’d recommend as a birthday tune is Unhappy Birthday.
The title is negative, isn’t it? (lol) The lyrics are filled with very dark content, and for some people it might be depressing.
It’s a recommended track for those spending a lonely birthday by themselves.
