VH1 is really getting ran into the ground lets be honest ... you just have to tune into a programme thats meant to be related to a "theme" and they still bugger it up |

Blissmas is on yet most of their programming is Christmas titled programs with New Year party songs - barely touched Christmas songs yet, although that's not necessarily a bad thing, it is more bad advertising, a bit like most things in the music industry I suppose.
On another note, Planet Pop keep playing the top 20 girls of 2013 - in their somewhere is Nelly - no, not Furtado, but Nelly.....they've shown in it numerous times over the past few weeks yet they haven't corrected it. Is there something I don't know about Nelly?

Maybe they will upgrade VH-1 and Magic after the Christmas graphics have finished.
but look at it in another way surely if it had been updated now we would see the new look christmas designs for the channel not leaving it to 2014-15 |

If it was Flo-Rida (they should have chosen a different song) but if it was for Olly he had no relevance to the chart (pretty sure someone mentioned even Emeli Sande appeared in it! Its possibly lazy researching) ![]() |

MTV seem to have scaled down the font size of the programme name on the graphics now. Looks better.

4Music - 99 hits you love to hate (skipping songs)
I was a bit naffed off with this countdown tonight, I assumed they were PLAYING the full 99 hits but this lot decide to "skip" tracks WHY??
TWO examples I spotted (can't remember the numbers in countdown) Voiceover mentions Will Smith aka Fresh Prince and his song "boom shake the room" (I thought yay good to see it and what the hell ... they skip it!) NEXT example - the "up next" appears and says in words to effect "the chart hits a LOW point in the countdown" - so I clicked Flo-rida's "low" was going to be played and what did these geniuses do SKIP!! - seriously why do something like this and skip songs YOU (meaning 4Music or whoever done it) don't want played?? but the UP NEXT and giving away what was going to be played OR skipped really annoyed me tonight, I was more naffed that Will Smith got skipped (unsure if Men In Black got played as I switched off afterwards) |

Surprised they are applying this late night schedule to Live but they seem they can't afford to do it to their normal sister stations .... oh I forgot the Teleshopping gives them some income to live on ... silly me |

Vh1 - Friday Night 90's Disco - What A Complete Joke.....
Ok we are all in the spirit of Christmas ... but was watching some of it tonight - what an embarassment
Mud - Lonely This Christmas - 1974 Destiny's Child - Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer - 2004 Band Aid 20 - Let Them Know Its Christmas 2004 Seriously what relevance are these songs to the 90's and what exactly is "disco" about the Band Aid song especially but after tonight I believe VH1 has lost its integrity with this shambles of a playlist - again its meant to be THEMED to a decade is it not or are the controllers that useless and they think chucking on any song is to fit? Time for VH1 to go - I have definately had enough of it (this was a half decent channel back in its hey day, it could never fault it but now its utterly terrible and this whole "research" is no mistake if this is weekly, but I forget VH1 has no focus and MTV is the main for everything now |

MTV Classic is now MTV XMAS. The song titles have been updated and now show the Album and Year again which is useful.
The VH1 logo has turned red but without snow on top like in some previous years. |

Maybe the Christmas playlist launched the night before it should have.
Its so blantly obvious that whoever is in control of VH1 now is really scraping barrels with the channel - there is no proper thought into its playlists or the countdowns and keeping it "relevant" but lets not forget this has happened more than ONCE so there is no excuse for it! Oh since I am on about VH1 yes the red logo is back I did note during the ad break the logo looks well "stretched" for it being "widescreen" now (but after ads logo returns to normal shape) another fault with this lot EDIT: I have no issue with the christmas songs, my issue with VH1 is that its the researching of videos (or lack of) is what is bugging me - this was a channel that knew its music and even its decades but now its becoming more of an MTV channel ran by idiots - VH1 demographic is certainly not aimed at us who grew up in the 80's (before/after) as they bloomin well advertise MTV boll..cks "valleys" "geordies" and little investment forward for the brand - they may as well rename VH1 or just get rid of it as its definately a channel that has got me turning off (similar to the MTV stations barely watch them but I thought since VH1 was having a rebrand there would be life brought back to it .... obvious no rebrand (yet advertise it on MTV site |

VH1 are showing the "Xmas Top 10 of 2001", but it definitely isn't the real Xmas chart from 2001. Tracks such as 'PPK - Resurrection' and 'Ian van Dahl - Will I' have been replaced, and even worse, The Tweenies didn't feature either.

I noticed more channels playing Christmas music this morning. How did Justin Bieber go onto Christmas playlist I never know but that is silly.

A lot of channels are playing non Christmas music in their Christmas shows (NOW playing Katy Perry a lot).
I understand them playing the songs that were number 1 at Christmas that are not Christmas songs (Ex Factor, Spice Girls, etc) even though I don't like it and think Christmas programmes should be solely Christmas songs, not songs at Christmas unless the programme specifies it - it's ambiguous. Channels have been doing what VH1 have been doing for ages and missing songs out. No matter what the programme title, you can expect it not to be as straightforward as that title suggests and they'll throw in the usual golden boys and girls of pop. I watch far less these days as if you want to know what's been played that day, you just tune in for an hour and it pretty much tells you all you need to know. |

Last night at 10pm VH1 had this: Quote:
Ghosts of Christmas Past: Top 20 I saw Chris Rea - Driving Home for Christmas and The Darkness - Christmas Time.Sadly these legendary artists have passed away, but their music will live on forever! Stay tuned for a classic selection of holiday hits from the crypt. When did Chris Rea die? And who from The Darkness has passed away? Pretty terrible stuff.. |
