Circulation figures for 2009 music magazines

2010 figures are unavailable at this time therefore i looked at the past few years circulation figures and some magagzines are still missing off the figures so i have placed the results of the 2009 figures in due to most of the magazines appearing in that year. These are my findings:

BBC Music 42,810
Classic FM 32,534
Classic Rock 71,242 
Computer Music 17,427
 Future Music 10,862
Gramophone 32,313
Hot Press 18,394
Kerrang! 41,125
Metal Hammer 41,777
 Mixmag 26,116
Mojo 98,484
 NME 38,486
Q 94,811
Terrorizer 11,641
Top of the Pops 107,576
Uncut 75,518 
Word 26,555
Sight and Sound 19,842
Total Film 81,029

It is seen that Top of the Pops is the best selling music magazine of the year 2009. I have looked at what the magazine offers on the BBC website and it mentions that "Every issue is packed with amazing star gossip, plus hot fashion and beauty advice, sexy lads, and side-splitting cringes." Moreover, its a  magazine with an edge. The magazine offers extra details like things such as "HOT FASHION", this is just the kind of result i have been hoping for enabling me to make a magazine that sells well to the public.

It could be seen that Mojo helped obtain high publicity due to its Publisher 'Emap'. However, it could be questionned whether they still have this publicity and sales as 'Emap' sold its its consumer magazines and radio divisions to German publisher H Bauer for £1.14bn IN 2007. Therefore, it would help if the figures for 2010 were released as i could see if they remained the same or if they have changed. Therefore, im having to place that magazine out of my collection of data for now however, hopefully the results shall be released very soon inorder for me to take it into account.

Q magazine recieved very high figures due to its ability to get an interview with anyone at anytime whereas other magazines can't therefore causing sales. Moreover, it could be plausable that if the magazine was to have high publicity which i certainly hope it would and there is evidence of that, it would become possible that interviews with high celebrities would be possible.
