On July 1, 2012, "VH1 Classic Europe" closed the theme programs with music videos from the 90s. In April 2015, "VH1 Classic Europe" featured a marathon of 90s music videos - "Nothing But The 90s", which was released every three weeks - on weekends. On January 9, 2018, another program appeared on "VH1 Classic Europe" - "90s Boys vs 90s Girls".

The last edition of the program with music videos from the 90s "Smells Like The 90s" was shown on September 19, 2020 in connection with the transition to round-the-clock broadcasting of a new music channel with music videos from the 80s "MTV 80s" on the frequency "VH1 Classic Europe".
