VH1 - 5 reasons .... - why not use this more for classic artists for Meatloaf, Queen etc - it be alot better than the bore charts of Beyonce, Ed Sheeran that are never off!”
First 5 songs - 1D, Adam Lambert, 5SOS, Little Mix, Fifth Harmony.....what a surprise!
Yes, they do ditch older songs except the same 2/3 they never stop playing. Understandable on some channels but even on the ones that do play older music...unless it's a chart and even then certain songs get ignored. Had to pester Clubland to play Cascada songs they had never played before, some 4-5 years old or in the case of Miracle, over 10 years old. Their may be contractual situations with a small amount but it's likely to be labels telling them to ignore the smaller tracks.
Well, they could do a top 5 of anyone. It's 20 minutes of airtime. Beyonce, Ed, Taylor and Adele etc gets kind of boring, but VH1 isn't what you'd call an exciting channel at the best of times.
