Mojo: circulation down year on year but slightly up on previous six months
Mojo has overtaken its sister title Q to become the biggest-circulation paid-for music magazine, while there were big drops for music titles New Musical Express, Kerrang! and Metal Hammer in the latest circulation figures out today.
Bauer Media's classic rock magazine Mojo had an average monthly circulation of 98,484 in the second half of last year, down 2% year on year but up 0.8% on the previous six months.
It overtook fellow Bauer title Q, which fell 8% year on year and 5.4% on the first half of the year to 94,811.
There was better news for Q's sister title, film magazine Empire, which was up 2.4% year on year to 194,239. It stretched its already substantial lead over Future Publishing's Total Film, which was down 5.8% year on year to 81,029.
IPC Media's Uncut held onto third place among the paid-for rock music titles, despite a 13.3% fall year on year to 75,518. It was ahead of Classic Rock, which was up 1.5% year on year and 1.3% on the first half of 2009 to 71,242.
But there were big year on year drops for the other titles in the rock music sector. Future Publishing's Metal Hammer was down 16.9% year on year and 9.2% on the previous six months to 41,777.
It was just ahead of Bauer's rock title Kerrang!, which tumbled 21.3% year on year and 4.9% on the first half of 2009 to 41,125, while IPC's NME fell 20.6% year on year, and 6% on the previous six months, to 38,486.

For this readership figures of music magazines were made in last 2 years "Thursday 11 February 2010" Therefore this information is not really out of date because it was made in just last 2 years so I can used this information and compare it with the information last year but obviously not this year as it's just the beginning of this year. This information is useful for me because I have to create a music magazine so I can use this information to find out what kind of music magazine I should make.

For this research, it has useful information for me. It says the ages of the people who filled in the form, for this research it had been filled by people around 16-24 years old so it included teenagers and adults. It also shows how many people listen to each type of music in percent. It also shows where and how do they listen to their favourite songs. It also has information about how much do they spend on music and also music magazines.
