I Don't

Since 68% of people I gave this questionnaire to don’t actually read music magazines this ruled out a big section of my audience so instead I would have to focus on the smaller portion of people who actually read it.

Country

45% of people who answered said they listen to pop music, so my music magazine would have to be mainly pop driven, but following that 28% of people listen to rock so I could give it an edgy rock twist to it.

94% of people spend 0-£5 on music magazines per month, now since 68% of people do not read music magazines, I’m guessing a big portion of the 94% don’t spend any money on music magazines per month as they do not buy them.
