There may be many different reasons to why people still continue to purchase music magazines, as even though they are probably not the most well-known magazines in the world, they still provide lots of information for music fans.
One of the main reasons why fans buy these types of magazines would be for all the fantastic competitions; ranging from winning signed abulms and singles to winning the chance to go to a popular festival and getting to meet your favourite artists. Of course these competitions are different, depending on what type of music genre magazine you buy. For rock/heavy metal types of magazines, the most likely thing you could win would be a popular festival suited to your genre however for pop music magazines, a big event such as Summer Time Ball or the exclusive chance to meet your favourite artist would be expected. The other thing music magazines are possibly most famous for are the reviews they include about new song releases, music videos and albums. Music fans may enjoy these reviews as they are more professional then perhaps normal magazines and newspapers because they are coming from an actual music magazine. Not only do music magazines present reviews about music, some also write about DVDs, books and recently released films. This could cover a wider range of audiences as it includes something for everyone. Music magazines may also include courage of key events such as popular gigs or popular concerts in a particular music genre's history which will become of great interest to music fans.
Almost every music magazine will also contain a current download list to find out what's in the charts so fans can know what everyone is listening to and what is popular in the music industry at the moment. These may also differ depending on what music genre magazine you purchase. For example, rock magazines may include a current download list for rock music so each type of magazine can please their particular music fans.
Another thing that is also very useful for music fans is the concert avertisements that music magazines present as they can find out how much, when and where upcoming gigs are. Music magazine may also be able to give special offers which involve being able to get discount on tickets.
Latest news from particular artists also cover main articles in music magazines as they contain interviews of some of the music fans' favourite artists. Some of the news (including behind the scenes gossip) may also be about films or other famous celebrities so there is something suitable for everyone.
One of the more unique information music magazines provide is that you can find out about new music stars before anyone else has. Some music press can boost artist's careers (like 'Alternative Press' magazine did with 'Red Hot Chili Peppers' and 'Fall Out Boy'). This means bands can be touted as the next big thing before they've even released a recording.
