Introduction to my genre!

We "heart pop" magazine!

Top of the pops magazine

I have decided that for my music magazine for AS level media studies I am going to base my music magazine around POP! I got the inspiration from these two magazines "We Love Pop." and "top of the pops". I choose these two magazines because they are both top selling pop magazines that are widely read by many 14-19 year old's. We Love Pop inspired me because it is an up to date magazine that only first launched in 2011, and has since been a very successful and popular magazine. I was also inspired by top of the pops magazine because it has been on sale for almost 20 years, and has been able to maintain its success over the years to make it one of England's top read teen mag. I wanted to base my music magazine round the genre of pop because this is the genre of music I mainly listen too. I also thought that aiming my magazine at a younger audience such as teenagers to young adults would be a lot easier than aiming it at really young children or adults. I based this decision on the fact that I am a teenager myself and it would be easier for me to base my music magazine on a genre I listen to and a genre that a lot of younger people like to listen too, because i am a young female fan of pop myself, i felt that i was able to relate to the target audience of my magazine better and be more clued up to how to satisfy their needs; due to the fact we both possess the same qualities and likes and dislikes.
