arrasar

To raze or flatten completely — a storm, an army, or a fire arrasando a town — and, just as commonly in everyday and media Spanish, figuratively: to be a smash hit or sweep an award show (la película arrasó en los premios).

• El huracán arrasó varios pueblos de la costa. — The hurricane flattened several towns on the coast.
• Su nuevo disco arrasó en las listas de ventas. — Her new album swept/dominated the sales charts.
• El incendio arrasó miles de hectáreas de bosque. — The fire razed thousands of hectares of forest.

Missing the very common figurative, non-destructive sense — arrasar en algo (an award show, the charts, a competition) simply means to dominate or sweep it, with no literal devastation involved.

• song Arrasando — Title track of Mexican singer Thalía's sixth studio album (2000, EMI Latin), a major international hit that sold close to 2 million copies and won a Latin Grammy for Best Engineered Album in 2001.
