This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 100.26.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:56, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

"'''Smooth'''" is a song performed by American rock band [[Santana (band)|Santana]] and [[Rob Thomas (musician)|Rob Thomas]] of [[Matchbox Twenty]], who sings the lead vocals. It was released on June 15, 1999, as the [[lead single]] from Santana's 1999 studio album, ''[[Supernatural (Santana album)|Supernatural]]''. It was written by [[Itaal Shur]] and Thomas, who re-wrote Shur's original melody and lyrics, and produced by [[Matt Serletic]].<ref name="Browne"/>

The song was an international success, reaching number one on the US [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]] for 12 consecutive weeks. It was the final number-one hit of the 1990s and the first number-one hit of the 2000s, and the only song to appear on two decade-end ''Billboard'' charts. "Smooth" was ranked as the second-most-successful song ever on ''Billboard's'' Hot 100 60th Anniversary listing. In 2000, the song won a [[Grammy Award]] for [[Grammy Award for Record of the Year|Record of the Year]], [[Grammy Award for Song of the Year|Song of the Year]], and [[Grammy Award for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals|Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals]]. "Smooth" also peaked at number one in Canada and charted within the top 10 in Australia, Austria, Ireland, and the United Kingdom.

==Concept and background==
"Smooth" was originally conceived by [[Itaal Shur]] as a song called "Room 17". The lyrics were stripped off and the track was given to [[Rob Thomas (musician)|Rob Thomas]], who re-wrote the lyrics and melody and re-titled it "Smooth", then recorded the song as a demo to play for Santana. After hearing the song, Santana decided to have Thomas record the final version.<ref name="Browne"/><ref>((cite web |url=http://www.vh1.com/artists/interview/1458955/20021202/matchbox_twenty.jhtml |title=Rob Thomas: Santana's Smooth Sidekick |publisher=[[VH1]] |date=December 2, 2002 |access-date=July 8, 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121006095417/http://www.vh1.com/artists/interview/1458955/20021202/matchbox_twenty.jhtml |archive-date=October 6, 2012 ))</ref> [[Matt Serletic]] (who produced Matchbox Twenty's debut album ''[[Yourself or Someone Like You]]'') produced the song, and it was released from Santana's album ''[[Supernatural (Santana album)|Supernatural]]''. Thomas originally had [[George Michael]] in mind to sing the song.<ref>((cite web |url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/magazine-feature/7647476/rob-thomas-george-michael-smooth-santana |title=Rob Thomas Reveals He Wrote 'Smooth' With George Michael In Mind |website=billboard.com |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171021193021/http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/magazine-feature/7647476/rob-thomas-george-michael-smooth-santana |archive-date=October 21, 2017))</ref>

==Chart performance==
By June 1, "Smooth" was leaked and played by some radio stations before its official release.<ref>((cite magazine |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=tQ0EAAAAMBAJ&q=santana&pg=PA11 |title=Santana Goes 'Supernatural': First Arista Album Features Young Performers as Guests |first=Melinda |last=Newman |magazine=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]] |date=June 5, 1999 |pages=11, 128))</ref> The single became a chart-topping hit in 1999, spending 12 consecutive weeks at number one on the [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]] beginning with the week of October 23, 1999. It was the first chart-topping song in [[Carlos Santana]]'s long-running career, rising higher than Santana's previous biggest hit, "[[Black Magic Woman#Santana version|Black Magic Woman]]", which peaked at number four in 1971. "Smooth" stayed in the top 10 of the [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]] for 30 weeks and the top 100 for 58 weeks.<ref name="hot100"/>

In the United Kingdom, "Smooth" first charted at number 75 on the [[UK Singles Chart]] in October 1999. After a full release on March 20, 2000,<ref>((cite magazine|url=https://worldradiohistory.com/UK/Music-Week/2000/Music-Week-2000-03-18.pdf|title=New Releases – For Week Starting March 20, 2000: Singles|magazine=[[Music Week]]|page=31|date=March 18, 2000|access-date=August 2, 2021))</ref> it peaked at number three, spending eight weeks in the top 40. The song also peaked at number three in Ireland in March 2000, spending ten weeks on the [[Irish Singles Chart]]. It remains Santana's highest-charting single in both the UK and Ireland. The song also peaked at number one in Canada for a week, number two in Greece, number four in Australia, and number nine in Austria. It reached the top 40 in an additional seven countries: Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, New Zealand, and Switzerland.

==Legacy==
On ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' magazine's rankings of the top songs of the first 50 years of the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 singles chart, "Smooth" was ranked as the number-two song overall<ref name="top100-titles-10">((cite magazine |url=http://www.billboard.com/specials/hot100/charts/top100-titles-10.shtml |title=Billboard Hot 100 Chart 50th Anniversary – The Billboard Hot 100 All-Time Top Songs (10-01) |magazine=Billboard |access-date=July 8, 2012 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120722203222/http://www.billboard.com/specials/hot100/charts/top100-titles-10.shtml |archive-date=July 22, 2012 ))</ref> and the number-one rock song in the history of the chart.<ref>((cite magazine |url=http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/specials/hot100/charts/top-rock.shtml |title=Billboard Hot 100 Chart 50th Anniversary – Top Billboard Hot 100 Rock Songs |magazine=Billboard |access-date=July 8, 2012 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120627091450/http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/specials/hot100/charts/top-rock.shtml |archive-date=June 27, 2012 ))</ref>

In the 21st century, particularly during the summer of 2016, the song became the subject of several [[internet meme]]s.<ref name="Allsummer">((cite web |last=Dandashi |first=dahlia |title=All summer 2016, we'll be jamming out to Santana's 'Smooth' |url=https://www.dailydot.com/upstream/santana-smooth-comeback-summer-2016/ |website=The Daily Dot |date=July 15, 2016 |access-date=June 20, 2017 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161029055714/http://www.dailydot.com/upstream/santana-smooth-comeback-summer-2016/ |archive-date=October 29, 2016))</ref> Writing for [[MTV.com]], Sasha Geffen compared the situation to similar resurgences of "[[All Star (song)|All Star]]" by [[Smash Mouth]] and "[[One Week (song)|One Week]]" by the [[Barenaked Ladies]], going on to attribute the song's popularity to "the merits of its vocal absurdity." They wrote, "There's something ridiculous about how eagerly Rob Thomas lays his earnest [[alternative rock|alt-rock]] croon over Santana's guitar, sweating out lines about how his 'Spanish Harlem Mona Lisa' is 'just like the ocean under the moon' without a hint of self-consciousness or irony".<ref name="mtv">((cite web |url=http://www.mtv.com/news/2919189/smooth-santana-rob-thomas-matchbox-twenty/ |title=The Enduring Power of 'smooth' by Santana Featuring Rob Thomas of Matchbox Twenty |last=Geffen |first=Sasha |date=August 15, 2016 |website=MTV |access-date=July 16, 2018))</ref>
