A music magazine is a magazine dedicated to music and music culture. Such magazines typically include music news, interviews, photo shoots, essays, record reviews, concert reviews and occasionally have a covermount with recorded music. ==Notable music magazines== Music magazines were very prolific in the United Kingdom, with the ''NME'' (short for ''New Musical Express'') leading sales since its first issue in 1952. ''NME'' had a longstanding rival in ''Melody Maker'', an even older publication that had existed since 1926; however, by 2001, falling circulation and the rise of internet music sites caused the ''Melody Maker'' to be absorbed into its old rival and cease publishing.〔(Melody Maker to merge with NME ), ''BBC News'', 15 December 2000.〕 Several other British magazines such as ''Select'' and ''Sounds'' also folded between 1990 and 2000. Current UK music magazines include ''Q'', ''Kerrang!'' and ''Mojo'' (all published by EMAP).〔(FEATURE - Rocking to a new tune ), ''Brand Republic'', 23 October 2003.〕 Magazines with a focus on pop music rather than rock and aimed at a younger market include the now-defunct ''Smash Hits'' and the BBC's ''Top of the Pops'', which outlived the television show on which it was based. The longest running music magazine of the U.K. is ''BMG'', founded in 1903 by Clifford Essex.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.bmgmagazine.net/ )〕 BMG, which stands for Banjo, Mandolin, and Guitar, is the oldest fretted instrument focused publication and actively promotes acoustic instruments of all kinds. Major music magazines in the United States include ''Rolling Stone'' (founded in 1967) and ''Spin'' (founded in 1985). ''Clash'' magazine was voted Music Magazine of the Year in 2004 and is the second largest UK online presence. ''Clash'' was also Awarded Magazine of the Year at the PPA Scotland Awards. ''Alternative Press'' has more of an "underground" coverage including pop punk, post-hardcore and metalcore. Among classical music magazines, ''Diapason'' is the most read in France. An example of a nostalgia magazine is ''Keep Rockin',''〔(krmag.com )〕 a 1950s and 1960s nostalgia magazine. The premier issue came out in January 2009. The magazine features a mixture of current events surrounding that time period (e.g. concerts, car shows) and stories with original photos from the 1950s and 1960s, as well as some reader-written articles about experiences growing up during that period. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Music magazine」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
