Task 1 - What is a Music Magazine

To put it simply a music magazine is a magazine that is dedicated to music culture and would typically include different items, such as:

  • Tour Dates
  • Profile of different artists
  • Interviews
  • Current Music Events
  • Photo Shoots
  • Advertisements
  • Music news
There have been many different music magazines in the past, the most notable ones include

Q Magazine                                                            NME

One of the longest running music magazines in the U.K is a magazine called B.M.G which is a magazine that has been running since the 1900s, That particular magazine is associated with the Acoustic genre. Different music magazines genres would usually have information based on those certain genres which would tailor to the specific needs of the buyer .
Some of the different genres include:

R&B                                                  Alternative                                 Acoustic

B.M.G may be the oldest magazine in the UK but it is not the most popular. Currently the most popular music magazine in the UK is The Fly, another extreamly popular music magazine would be The Rolling Stone.

The future for music magazines could go in different directions as more and more people can get their subscription online instead of physically buying it which could have a negative effect on it's profits but it could also be very good for them as it would be possible to increase sales as they don't make a set number of copies, customers can just buy them online.
