Billboard magazine inspired the document author's music magazine idea. Billboard ranks songs and albums across genres using digital downloads, radio airplay, and streaming. The magazine uses varied colors and layouts to feature different artists. Billboard targets a similar audience to the author's planned magazine - teenagers through those in their late 20s to early 30s.

2. Billboard magazine has been a big inspiration into helping me choose what genre I want to base my
magazine on, Billboard’s features such as the ‘Billboard Hot 100’ respectively rank the top songs and
albums regardless of genre and are based on digital downloads, radio airplay and internet streaming. I
like the layout of the magazine, the variety of colors and how it features artists from all different types
of varieties of music. Billboard also use a similar target audience as they aim it at teenagers to people
in their late 20’s – early 30’s.
