Genre and Artist

Genre

Following the results from my survey, the genre for my magazine will be R&B as this was the most popular result and what I based my questions around. I also think R&B is a popular genre of music within my target audience of 16-24 year olds. Also, as R&B is my favourite of genre of music, it will hopefully be easier and more enjoyable for me to create a magazine of this genre of music. 

Artists

The music magazines that I have analysed have focused on both current and popular artists in addition to older artists that are making a comeback. I plan on featuring a male current artist on the front cover of my magazine as I think this will appeal to both sexes of 16-24 year olds - females because they will be attracted to this male and want to know more because of this appeal and males because they will aspire to this male and want to be like him. The type of artist I would like to feature in my magazine would be Trey Songz or Beyoncé because they would appeal to both males and females for the reasons above and as they are well known, successful and populars artists within the R&B industry.
