The largest music magazine is the Q magazine, with the largest circulation.
The Genre of the Q magazine is Alternate rock, suggesting that a rock based magazine would be the best to create. however, as you can see from the number of rock magazines in circulation this means that there will be great competition. However, the number of magazines in circulation and their circulation figures show that there is a huge market out there.
