The New Musical Express (NME) is a popular British music magazine that has been published weekly since 1952. Throughout its history, NME has undergone changes in editors, focus, and format, transitioning from a newsprint to a glossy tabloid in 1998. The magazine covers the latest and upcoming bands and artists through articles, competitions, interviews and advertisements. NME was also historically successful in the 1970s as the best-selling British music magazine and for introducing new artists like the Beatles. It continues targeting music fans of all genres, mainly aged late teens to mid-20s.
