As my magazine is in the Rock genre, I have researched into the circulation figures of current magazines like this.
However, as this information is from June 2010; figures could have differed.
Music magazines (percentages represent year-on-year change)
The Fly - 108,207 (0.4%)
Mojo - 91,678 (-6.2%)
Q - 89,450 (-10.7%)
RWD -78,867 (1.7%)
Uncut - 74,067 (-3.2%)
Classic Rock - 70,323 (0.0%)
Metal Hammer - 44,034 (-4.3%)
Kerrang! - 44,013 (1.8%)
New Musical Express - 33,875 (-17.3%)
These figures show that Rock magazines aren't as popular as they used to be, with 4 making a higher year to year sale and five earning less. For example Q earning 10.7% less. Showing that even the more well known magazines are making loses.
However, information from the Press Gazette website shows that Cosmo, a leading woman's magazine has also dropped by 9% and the Radio Times also falling to selling under 1m copies. This shows that it is most of the magazine industry loosing profit, not just Rock magazines.
