The demographics of the music industry are broad. Rolling Stone, for example, has around 150,000 subscribers globally, 58 percent of which are male. The median age is 32.
- Vibe magazine’s target readership is mostly young, urban followers of hip-hop culture.
- Country Music magazine attracts country music fans, 25 to 45 years old, with an income of $75,000.
- Paste magazine attracts readers ages 25-35 who earn around $70,000 in annual income.
Most covers for music magazines are ones that catch the eye of the target audience by showing almost nudity and big fonts to talk about important topics.
With an original masthead designed by the late, great psychedelic artist Rick Griffin, stunning photography and illustration by luminaries including Annie Leibovitz and Ralph Steadman, and the work of stellar art directors, Rolling Stone’s covers have become as iconic as the stars that feature on them.
