1. Questionnaire Summary
Male
Aged between 16-19
Female
0 5 10 15
From this graph it clearly shows that more males listen to R&B/Hip-hop than females out of the 20
16-19 year olds I asked. I found out that the most popular artists amongst the males were: Kanye
West, Drake and Lil Wayne. For the females it was Usher and Alicia Keys. The artists, the lyrics of the
song and the instruments and vocals used are the most popular features of R&B/Hip-hop music that
attracts them towards the genre. I found out that not many R&B/Hip-hop fans are willing to pay
more than £1-£2 on a music magazine, only a few would pay a little bit more, and many wouldn’t
buy one at all.

I found out that more males buy music magazines than females. The most popular magazine read by
the males is NME and only one female reads a magazine which is Kerrang. The most common
feature that is liked in these music magazines is the music/bands that they contain. The males and
females who don’t buy magazines said that the music magazines that are out there at the moment
don’t interest them and they don’t really know anything about them. They said that free gifts,
competitions and exclusive new and interviews would encourage them to buy a music magazine of a
specific genre.
2. A B C
Out of these 3 front covers of magazines, B was the most popular choice because of the artist
featured on the magazine. Another reason why it was popular was because the name of the artist
was clear to the audience so they knew who he was straight away. Finally another reason was
because the background made the artist stand out which was eye catching.
The most popular types of images to be seen on the front cover of a R&B/Hip-hop magazine would
be one key main image that would attract the target audiences attention and darker colours to be
used which links to the type of genre of music. The most popular content that would be of interest
to the people I asked would be the latest news and information about the groups/artists. Lastly the
main feature that they would like to see on a double page spread would be an interview or general
article about a main artist/group.
