The document summarizes survey results about music preferences from males and females ages 17-19. It finds that the majority of both males and females prefer hip hop, rock, and R&B genres of music. Both males and females are more likely to download music than buy CDs or albums. The last CDs purchased by respondents tended to be modern pop artists across both genders. Both males and females also reported reading music magazines like Sounds and Rolling Stone.

5. What was the last cd you bought?
Out of the males the last cd’s that they bought were mostly modern ones such as
Rizzle Kicks, Black Eyes Peas, Lil’ Wayne, showing that people still spend their time
and money choosing cd’s and this shows that some people would still prefer the
album compared to just downloading.
Again it’s the same with the females they have bought modern albums such as
Beyonce, Ed Sheeran, Adele, Jason Mraz. Natty, Coldplay, Katy Perry etc. The only
contrast is the genre of cd that different genders choose to buy.

The types of magazines that males and females ages 17-19 read are magazines like
Sounds, Kerrang, Rolling Stones and Nme. I think the intended target audiences for
these magazines are late teenagers who have an interest in indie rock type music.
