This is the link to the top 40 singles in the charts at the moment.
I have found out that pop music is the most popular music genre however all these pop genres have their unique style to their songs . Also they all have a certain fashion they must follow, by particular clothes they wear to enhance their style of music. Katy Perry for example would wear a range of vibrate colours, because she has a unique style to her pop genre. The top 40 has number ones from months ago, still in the top 40 because the music is still very popular to the public. I found out that a remake or remix of the same song can make an in-pack to the music business, such as Ellie Goulding's version to Elton John's 'Your Song'. This is because the public enjoy their old time favourites songs but sung by todays artists.
I think this is useful because it gives me an idea of what I should be looking for, the more I research the more I know what type of genre I shall be using in my magazine. Ellie Goulding has inspired me to take a low tone of pop, by using natural colours such as greys, whites and blacks because it would well with my settings and background in the pictures.
The top 40 can have any type of genre but the most popular is pop, however indie rock such as Kings of Leon can be in the top 40 sometimes. The chart music usually prefers music that have a beat to such as Rihanna and her single 'Only Girl' but I prefer a softer artist that doesn't repeat the lyrics over and over again. People would be willing to buy a magazine that has a story to the artist's name. When the artist has a number one they are the most recognised played song, therefore they would bring profit to the magazine because of their number one hit is advertising big profit.
I have chosen a pop genre for my magazine because it is the most popular genre in the music business today. I will be aiming my magazine at a pop culture basis by presenting it with colour scheme similar to a rock genre however including pop genre for my magazine. This is to make my magazine look professional and classy to it's audience. I intend that costume of the artist will be bold to enhance my pop genre in the magazine, this is to create an audience.
Aimee - you must link this to your product - does it suggest that there is a market for your kind of music, who may well be willing to buy a magazine? It's important to establish commercial viability.
ReplyDeleteAimee - have you clearly stated what genre you are focusing or what angle you are taking? Or, are you going to focus simply on chart music? It's important to state your case clearly.
