Conclusion- As shown from the data above the most popular music magazine genre is Rock. Which connects to the celebrity that the majority chose which was Olly Skyes who is a rock singer from Bring Me to The horizon. Up and Coming Bands were also popular for my double page article, so my first idea for my magazine is to include these in my magazine which may be rock. I will produce a weekly magazine as from the data it shows that the majority of the people i asked by magazines on a weekly basis. My target audience will be between the ages of 15-24 and will be both female and male.
