UK Top 40 Research
I have researched the Uk top 40 in order to see which genre is most popular at the moment, so that I know if I have chosen the right genre for my magazine or not. I have picked Radio One's top 40 as Radio One is the number one radio station listened to, therefore will be reliable.
As seen from the chart below, at number one is boy band called JLS, who are from the pop genre. Also a few other artist in the chart are from the genre of pop such as Katy Perry, Westlife, Ellie Goulding and Rihanna.
This then proves that choosing the genre of pop will be successful because it clearly appeals to the pubic seeing as the number one at the moment is a pop group.
