their own differences however are all similar by the
way they are all revolve around music and pop
culture trends. Containing honest reviews and
interviews, latest news, photo shoots, styles and
features on new music. They each design themselves
around who they want their audience to be and what

publish them correctly and have advertised them
well enough to have gained so many consumers.

Here are four different types and designs of front covers for different music magazines that I have
chosen. Looking at these, you can simply pick out and see who the audiences are for each and what
kind of stories they would include within. Billboard you can see would be aimed at the everyday chart
viewers/readers whereas looks more for people who enjoy rough rap music ect.

*The number of magazines sold annually is based on the location. UK
magazines are mainly based in London. The PPA:
Periodical Publishers Association, represents about 400 companies, it
accounts for some 2,300 consumers, business and professional magazines,
80 per cent of the UK magazine market by turnover.
*In 2009, it is reported that 346,571,912 magazines were sold for a yearly
revenue of $9,084,807,632.
*According to industry data an average of 2,600 magazines are sold every
minute in the UK. That equates to 3.7 million per day. There's no specific
data relating to gossip or celebrity magazines.
*However, there are over five billion magazines sold annually, the U.K.
alone claims to sell 2600 magazines every minute of every day which, if
you do the math, comes close to 1.5 billion annually.

* Usually the people who read music magazines are the people who are
interested in a particularly type of music.
* Some types may include ROCK, dance, classical, rap, R&B, etc. Genres
are represented in different ways for instance the way it looks,
positioning, the language used, colours that are involved and clothing
worn. Each little thing can hint who that particular magazine is aimed
at. Magazine designers would have to take into consideration; the
gender they are mostly wanting, and know, to read their magazine, also
the race and age.
* For example magazine is represented in this issue by a famous
rough boy band. The band have a genre of indie rock music. Indie rock
music is usually quite relaxing calming music which enables bands to
explore sounds and emotions which in this issue contrasts with the font
and font colour. The colour of the font matches with the name of the
magazines both being bright red, standing out to for us to read first.
The good points of this magazine cover are that they contain cover lines
which give the audience more information on what the magazine
contains.

*There are a huge variety of places that magazines can be sold nowadays.
The most popular place that you will find magazines are in supermarkets
or newsagents. It all really depends on the type of magazine it is that
you're looking for. For instance, more niche types are harder to obtain
rather than just walking to the closest corner shop and picking the one you
want up. Some may need to be ordered from specific websites or
somewhere on the internet. Less common places are newsstands,
bookstores, through free distribution, ect.
* Smaller magazines are sometimes sent through email as well. Technology is
changing all the time and the accessibility for certain items are always
getting easier to create a bigger and a wider range of readers to make
more money resulting in becoming more of a well known magazine brand.
That’s always a bonus and what they want eventually.

oldest trade magazines in the world. It maintains several internationally recognized music charts that

* With the development of the jukebox industry during the 1930s, The Billboard began publishing
music charts. Originally, there were only three genre-specific charts: Pop, , and
. In the 1950s it introduced a section covering the television industry, including ratings charts
for programs. It continued to carry news of fairs, carnivals, theme parks and other outdoor
entertainments until 1961 when these departments were spun off into a new weekly magazine
called Amusement Business. By this time the television coverage had also been moved to another
publication.
* At the start of 1961, The Billboard was renamed Billboard Music Week. The publication was now
devoted almost entirely to the music industry, with some coverage of coin-operated vending and
entertainment machines on its jukebox pages. The title was changed to simply Billboard at the start of
1963. In 2005, the magazine and its web sites were repositioned to provide coverage of all forms of
digital and mobile entertainment.
* Amusement Business prospered for a few decades, but was struggling by the beginning of the 21st
century. Shortly after then its frequency of publication was reduced to monthly, and it finally ceased
