For further research I needed to find circulation figures for music magazines in order to determine how popular the genre of music that I am attending to is on a much wider scale which then would give me direction to work on my niche audience. This was posted early 2010.
These are the circulation figures:
- BBC Music 42,810 (45,144)*
- Classic FM 32,534 (35,751)*
- Classic Rock 71,242 (70,301 / 70,188)
- Computer Music 17,427 (18,261)*
- Future Music 10,862 (10,860)*
- Gramophone 32,313 (34,628)*
- Hot Press 18,394 (19,387)*
- Kerrang! 41,125 (43,253 / 52,272)
- Metal Hammer 41,777 (46,004 / 50,269)
- Mixmag 26,116 (30,159)*
- Mojo 98,484 (97,722 / 100,507)
- NME 38,486 (40,948 / 48,459)
- Q 94,811 (100,172 / 103,107)
- Terrorizer 11,641 (13,786)*
- Top of the Pops 107,576 (119,739)*
- Uncut 75,518 (76,526 / 87,069)
- Word 26,555 (34,280)
I was happy to find that similar magazines to mine such as 'mixmag' are here selling some of the most number of magazines. This tells me that the dance genre although being a niche genre as it is not on as larger scale such as R&B and hip hop is still quite popular with people and i hope that my magazine follows a similar trend. I find that the dance genre is particularly popular with the younger adults however. these circulation figures have given me a wider insight into the popularity of dance magazines as they are more popular then predicted.
