Top of the Pops
Top of the Pops magazine is produced by BBC magazines and is a monthly publication. originally is was based on the television programe Top of the Pops, however the magazine carried on when the show stopped airing on t.v. the magazines first publication was in 1995 and is still very know as giving the spice girl their nicknames. Top of the pops have now moved to having less music content and more content being demographically targeted to young girls.

What is the typical content
Based on the longest running BBC television show of it's kind, Top of the Pops magazine provides the music chart gossip as you would expect. Aimed at younger teenage girls, there is also Fashion, boys and beauty advice all included. When you buy a copy of Top of the Pops magazine, you can also expect a free gift, poster or sticker set - which makes posting it to you a real bind, but we do it with a smile at Newsstand.
who is the typical reader
It's a great choice for any girls from 12 years old and up and if you are buying as a present - even better on a subscription where you can choose the length only here at Newsstand.
The magazines house style
In order to successfully appeal to their target audience of young girls that love pop music, we find that the colour scheme tends to be pinks, blue, purples and pastel colours connoting girlishness. Also referring to the house style the typography is sans serrif, this is used to seem modern and trendy to comply with the target audience of younger girls.
Who distributes and produces the magazine?
The BBC organisation both produce and distribute this magazine.
How are social groups represented within the magazine?
There has been controversy with the magazine sexualising young girls however i disagree. i personally think that Top of the Pops portray celebrities in a good light as the target audience of the young girls look up and idolize these celebrities.
