I've decided to launch a new weekly topic concerning the playlist of German music channel Viva.

I think it would be interesting for all who like the German charts.

For those who don't know, Viva plays the entire top 30 of the German singles charts, without acts like Tim Toupets or DJ Oetzi, plus new, still uncharted, songs.

 

So here it is the latest playlist:

 

Amy Macdonald - “This Is The Life” 33 weeks in the playlist

Big Ali Feat. Dollarman - “Hit The Floor” 2 w

Brandy - “Right Here (Departed)” 2 w

Britney Spears - “Circus” 5 w

I remember when the whole top75 was playlisted. What happened to dance songs on VIVA? I cant see any on the playlist...its a terrible channel since its been bought by Viacom

Until four or five years ago, VIVA playlisted the entire top 60, I don't remember the top 75 to have been ever playlisted. Anyway, I think that that's an overall trend less songs to be playlisted. And yes, MTV is to be blamed for that. Still VIVA remains, at least for me, the best music channel on my cable right now. I don't know if there is a better German music TV.

No wonder that there are less and less songs in the playlist. 75% of the programmes on Viva (and MTV too) are nothing to do with music, just stupid American and reality shows

VH1 Europe is easily the best channel imo.

Girls Aloud?? :o

I prefer channels that play only new music but still think that VH1 Classic, the central European one, is better than VH1 Europe.

nah, nothing is better than Vh1 Europe. Music 23 hours a day, huge variety, music from loads of decades, different kinds of shows for many genres, its perfect.

Girls Aloud?? ohmy.gif

 

The single is released in Germany on March 27 :)

And the girls have never been popular in Germany (only "Sound Of The Underground" entered the Top 100) and I think this is their last chance to have a hit in the country. Btw are Girls Aloud popular anywhere outside UK?

^^ no they're not. Sound Of The Underground and Jump are their only 2 songs to chart decently in other European countries

nah, nothing is better than Vh1 Europe. Music 23 hours a day, huge variety, music from loads of decades, different kinds of shows for many genres, its perfect.

Still I prefer the channels that play the newest music, no matter how thin their playlists are, and on VH1 there is no German music ;)

And on VH1 Classic there are no commercials, and the music there is 24 hours a day ;)

They always keep playing that Allein Allein song. Anyway, not a big fan of most German music. And since its a European channel, the German songs need to be a hit in Europe for them to get played, like Allein.

 

Vh1 Classic dont play German either, unless they're in english

Yeah, I know, that's why I prefer Viva, it's the only channel on my cable to play German music. The other channel which I watch is MTV Hits as they play a lot of new hits from UK. I don't remember the last time I turned on MTV Europe or VH1 Europe :D
