MTV's Greatest Hits was a programme that started on 19 March 1990 - later presented by Paul King from 1991.

The main idea was to show all the greatest hits throughout the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s and even 1990s. The show was shown at 4pm and then repeated at 10pm CET. In 1993, the programme was aired at 1pm and then at 8pm.

In the programme, you could always find best videos from the likes of Madonna, Prince, Duran Duran and more.

MTV's Greatest Hits gained in popularity throughout the years, but in July 1994 Paul King said goodbye on the screen showing the very last video on the show: Michael Jackson's Thriller. The show continued on MTV with different VJs eventually removed from the screens circa 1996. As well as main VJ Paul King, there were a few others who would stand in for him in his absence such as Pip Dann or Richie Rich.
