This document contains the results from surveys about music magazine preferences. The key findings are: 1) The majority of respondents preferred R&B music and thought an R&B-focused magazine would be most successful. 2) 16-20 year olds were the most interested in music magazines, so the magazine should target that age group. 3) Most respondents do not regularly buy magazines but would be willing to pay £1-2 for a music magazine. Eye-catching photos would increase interest. 4) Websites are the main way people hear about new music, so including website listings would be beneficial. Popular artists, interesting articles, and photos of celebrities are the top things people
