Word 34,280 (33,775 / 33,217)

For this particular year it shows that Q magazine was the most popular magazine, I think this is because Q includes a wide range of genres of music so there is something for everyone, widening the target audience. Mojo was ranked the second most popular and focuses mainly on classic rock, this is surprising because I wouldn't have thought many people would listen to classic rock but when visiting the Mojo website bands such as Led Zeppelin and the Beatles were featured in their articles and as these bands are very famous this explains why the magazine is so popular.
