Music mags see more circulation decline
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 12 February 2010
Mojo is the now the biggest newsstand music magazine in the UK, which is interesting. In the latest round of ABC magazine circulation figures, published this week, the Bauer-owned monthly scored an average circulation of 98,484, putting it ahead of sister title Q, which now sells 94,811 copies each month.
However, both Mojo and Q nevertheless saw their circulation figures fall year on year, a common theme across the printed music media. IPC’s NME and Uncut, other Bauer title Kerrang!, Development Hell-owned Word and Mixmag, and even a recent success story in the music press, Future Publishing’s Metal Hammer, all saw their ABC figures fall too. In fact, in terms of newsstand titles, only Future’s other music mag, Classic Rock, had a good ABC result; they saw their circulation rise 1.3%.
MAMA Group-owned freebie The Fly remains the biggest magazine in terms of circulation, with 108,906 copies now going out each month.
