My Chosen Genre

I have chosen to make a music magazine of the pop/chart music genre because I feel that it has a wide audience of all different ages and I think I could come up with many ideas that would suit all different age categories.There many existing magazines of the pop genre that I think I could get inspiration from, I think that I have the most knowledge of this type of music which will help me make good decisions about my magazine.

For example, the magazine in the left 'We heart Pop' contains a famous face, Jessie J even people who don't like this genre would be likely to know about her as she is in the media a lot. I think that because I know more about this genre I could make it either very broad and make it appeal to a wide target audience or make it fairly specific.

Here I have the iTunes Pop Chart for the week beginning 13th October 2013:

1. Counting Stars - One Republic
2. Wrecking Ball - Miley Cyrus
3. Bonfire Heart - James Blunt
4. Juliet - Lawson
5. Roar - Katy Perry
6. Can We Dance - The Vamps
7. Disco love - The Saturdays
8. Burn - Ellie Goulding
9. R U Crazy (Radio Edit) - Conor Maynard
10. The Fox (What Does The Fox Say?) - Ylvis

Most of the names of the artists on this list would be recognisable to most people as they are fairly main stream and pop music often dominates radio stations.
