1. Ideology Essay
I am using an article from ‘billboard’ magazine. From the headline I can tell this magazine
article is about Band Aid 30’s new rendition of ‘Do They Know Its Christmas’ and where the
song has been placed in the UK charts. This article also talks about what artists were
involved in the new rendition of this song such as Rita Ora, One Direction and Sam Smith. In
the article it says how the song has reached No. 1 in the charts and has become the U.K.’s
fastest-selling single of the year to date. This therefore conveys the message of how well the
single is doing and also links into the masthead of this magazine, ‘billboard, as the billboard
charts is equivalent to the UK’s official charts but in the US.
The article then goes on to explain that it has sold a lot more copies than the latest version
of the song although it has not beat the weekly sales figure of James Arthur’s ‘Impossible’ 2
years ago. This is conveying the number of sales the song has reached and linking it to the
official charts which, again, relates to this magazines ideology about the ‘billboard’.
The article then continues to write about other song releases and their sales in the official
charts. This shows how this article links into the magazine ‘billboard’‘s ideology about the
charts and in the UK – the official chart.
