Q magazine originally considered being called "Cue" but changed its name to a single letter to stand out more in shops and on newsstands. Another reason was that a single letter title would be more prominent. NME stands for "New Musical Express" and was relaunched under this name in 1952 after being bought to save it from closing. Kerrang! gets its name from the sound of playing a power chord on a distorted electric guitar and was initially focused on covering New Wave of British Heavy Metal and hard rock bands.
