All Saints - Never Ever ahhh the default All Saints song! They had more than that in 90's but of course expect VH1 not to make an attempt to play something else from them!
More likely Snow Patrol "Run" will be on Vintage to VH1

I think they just try and remain popular by playing popular artists. Who has the most fans out of Bieber and Cascada or Jasen Derulo and Scooter? It's based on artists not music.
Saw another All Saints song on Vault the other day - I know where it's at, I think.
VH1 usually only play Snow Patrol on 'Power Ballads' or something.

Decade countdowns - oh at times its like a broken record, but not surprised they start later in a decade just for the sake of it, saying that remember Heat does decade charts but they too edge it up these days ie 2005-15 songs instead - it causes more confusion than anything else! Don't know why this is done and how they get away with it!
Zayn Malik was played 3 times? Wow either someone fell asleep at the wheel or record label has thrown money at them for this! Hmmm are these channels evolving more into radio stations these days?”
CS Dance keep playing the same mixes too. They have more dance amongst the Katy Perry and Nicki Minaj than MTV Dance though.
Heat (or another Bauer channel) did that yesterday I think. Last 10 years rather than 00-09.
With regards to record labels, I thought Sony would have evloved the CSC channels into Sony label artists in the main, but it hasn't happened. If it was MTV Sony had bought, it would be wall to wall Sony artists.

I remember back in the days when we had Bubble Hits, Classic FM TV, MTV2, Flaunt etc. now every channel just seems to be the same with exception for MTV Classic, MTV Rocks, Scuzz, Kerrang and Vintage.
Side note, Capital TV is worth a watch - caught about 10 music videos on there the other day non-stop with no adverts.”
Beyonce is everywhere as well. I'm waiting for her to turn up on Scuzz.
We had some decent channels and playlists back in the day.
Capital always seem to play the same artists - I rarely touch it.
Clubland seems to be back on track this week - all sorts of programmes after last weeks debacle - 3 hours of Monsta Hits from the 10's, This Weeks Top 20, 3 hours of 100% Clubland Classics and then re-start the whole process again, all week aside one Katy B programme that was on NOW anyway.
Looks like a reminiscing week, so hopefully not a 'goodbye' and moving solely online as they tend to advertise their spotify etc accounts a lot. I'm sure i'm just thinking too much
