It is evident from the statistics above that the majority of all top selling music magazine target a wider male audience than that of female. The graph shows that 6/7 of the music magazine genre to be rock, rock is usually seen as a more male orientated genre. As the music is in some ways agressive , and usually loud , consists of quite a quick tempo and overall lyrically very confruntational and obseen. often found offensive. This sort of behaviour is not one of female nature. Stereotypically this is not of a females common nature to listen to this type of music however, alternative cases can include women who enjoy listing to this brand of music and therefore enjoy reading the above publications yet, the percentage still remains incredibly low in comparison the the percentage of male readers.
Music magazines tend to not cater for the female market as much as male however they still do have a range of female music magazines, which as special edition's to the original males mag. eg. "vibe magazine" male version & "vixon magazine" is the female version.
women prodeminately tend to have an interest in lifestyle magazines e.g heat, closer, grazia and now, as they more cater to a female audience.
