Music Genre

I have decided that I am going to produce my magazine based on a pop genre. This is there is a gap in the market for magazines that are purely for people that have an interest in artists like Katy Perry, Taio Cruz and Rihanna. When you look for the top ten pop music magazines on the internet you get a list of the top ten pop music magazines. These are
  1. Q
  2. Rolling Stone
  3. Entertainment Weekly
  4. Billboard
  5. Blender
  6. Alternative Press
  7. Paste
  8. Vibe
  9. NME
  10. Spin
Only three of these magazines are very popular which shows that there is a gap in the market for a popular pop magazine. Even these three popular magazines are not purely for pop music. I would say that NME and Q magazine are mainly about Indie music. The key features of a pop genre are:
artists image- typical boyband or girlband- usually made up of four or five people that have a neat and well presented image, which makes them appeal to the opposite sex.
Solo artists- neat and well presented, usually have a large sex appeal which appeals to the opposite sex but also makes the same sex look inspire to be them.
lyrics- usually about love, breakups or the nightlife and the lyrics usually tend to rhyme and be quite cheesy.
I will make my image of my artist to fit these conventions of a pop artist
