NickMusic is an American digital cable television network owned by Paramount Global through its Media Networks division. A subsidiary of the children's cable network Nickelodeon, the channel mainly carries music videos and music-related programming from younger artists that appeal to Nickelodeon's target audience.
NickMusic was originally launched as MTV Hits on May 1, 2002 (simultaneously with Nicktoons TV) before being rebranded under the editorial control of Nickelodeon on September 9, 2016. NickMusic is based on an automated "wheel" schedule that was introduced during the early days of MTV2. The loop repeats three times a day, starting at 6 a.m. Eastern Time, and then resetting at 2 p.m. and 10 p.m.

Some MTV Hits blocks such as Videos We Heart will be maintained, though 'guest DJ' slots will now be taken by younger stars of music and Nickelodeon series, along with a likely move of TeenNick Top 10 (ended in 2018 because of the host's anti-Semitic remarks and left Paramount two years later) to the channel.

The last music video to be aired on MTV Hits was "Clint Eastwood" by Gorillaz. The first video to air on NickMusic was "Happy" by Pharrell Williams.
