Music Magazine Sales Decline

Over the last couple of years, music magazine sales have been declined.  the reason for this is the industry of digital music.  Some of the most successful music magazines are suffering up to 14.2% of its circulation year on year.  However, Fly magazine, a free monthly music magzine, consolidated its position as the UKs No 1 music title.  With a 0.2% rise in distrubution to 100,574.  and he Stool Pigeon, another monthly free magazine posted a circulation of 53,676, almost double that of NME.

As music magazine sales decline, difital music is rising quickly.  this is because of the internet.  Some magazines have used the internet to its advantage as they have created a form of digital subscription including Apple editions and interactive magazines.  Some has even created codes on magazines for readers to then unlock online for extra content.

Music industry as a while, has beeen decreasing, and they hope that the digital sales will make up for the short decrease.  ( This informtion was taken from the Guardian)

 

Because of this terrible decline in sales of music magazine.  I decided to make my magazine go viral.  And have a website which will be updated daily so the data will be the newest news.  And also if readers subscribe, they will get a free album, and they will get a free soundtrack once every two weeks.  Hopefully this will attract readers to subscribe as they will have something in return.
