How do you listen to your music?

CD'sDownloadVinyl

When I asked the students how they usually listen to their music the majority answer was download with 70%. CD’s only had 30% of the votes and none of the students said that they listened to music on vinyl. This shows that download is the main way people tend to listen to music now. Therefore when I’m making my music magazine, my target audience won’t be interested in articles about vinyl or if I included free vouchers for records in my magazine. Whereas they would much prefer a code for a free download.

What magazines do you read?

When asked what music magazines the students read the overall majority was NME magazine with 60%, this will be due to the fact that NME is the only magazine that mainly targets a younger audience. I will need to research into NME magazine and look at the reason why it appeals to the students and then take inspiration form it to use with my own music magazine. Q magazine is the second most read magazine with 20% of people buying t. From the results shown it states that Nylon magazine is not purchased by any of the students and Rolling stone and Kerrang are not that popular with both only having 10% of the students read them.

How often do you buy music magazines?

How often do you buy music magazines?

This indicates how often my magazine should be released due to the results given by the students. 40% of the students said that they bought music magazines once a month and 30% said they bought then twice a month. This suggests that I should issue my magazine either once or twice a month as students are less likely to buy magazines weekly this could because of the low income rate they receive. None of the students questioned said they bought magazines weekly, 20% said they didn’t buy them often meaning that they didn’t keep up to date with making sure they had the latest magazine and 10% don’t buy music magazines at all. This might suggest that I use an app version of my magazine to appeal to this demographic.
