Music Survey using SurveyMonkey.

1) The first question I asked was what music genre people listen to most and this question was asked so that I could see what type of genre teenagers aged 16-18 listen to. By asking, I can see that the most listened genre is Indie, pop and R&B. These three music genres are the most listened to, however Indie is the most listened genre out of all the music genres above and so this means that I can base my music magazine on Indie music.

2) By asking how often magazines should be released, it gave me an insight of how often they should be released. This has shown me that people prefer when music magazines are released monthly.

3) By asking what attracts a person to buy a music magazine, it has helped me to see what I could include on the cover that I create so that it stands out and makes someone want to buy it. By looking at the results above, it would seem that people mainly are attracted to images/main images and if there is going to be interviews inside the magazine. So, this has helped me as I know to include attractive and a bold main image so that a music magazine reader will want to pick my magazine up.

4) Looking at the data above, I can see that people like it when there are interviews as they will most likely pick up the music magazine and buy it. So, for my magazine I know to include an interview. I have also noticed that music downloads, information about events and styling tips is quite popular to have in a magazine as a music magazine reader will want to pick it up and buy it.

5) Studying the data above, I can see that people would rather pay anywhere between £2-£3 for a music magazine. This is a reasonable price, considering that the people who participated in my survey are teenagers.

6) The data above shows that people buy at least one music magazine a month.

I created a survey using SurveyMonkey which is a survey-making website where I can design my own survey and distribute it with a link for people to fill in. 41 people, aged 16-18, took part in the survey. This survey shows that teenagers listen to Indie music, then R&B music, and the third genre that teenagers listen to most is pop. Making this survey helped me get a bigger picture of what my music magazine should include as I have gathered information that when people do buy music magazines it is mainly due to who is featuring and the main image at the front. This survey will help me when I start creating my music magazine as I will know what teenagers aged 16-18 look for in a music magazine and what attracts them to pick one up.
