Further research into my Demographic

I have decided to collect more research for my demographic, just to make sure that  I am including the most important factors when I am designing my covers and when it comes to changing anything if I need to.

Since I am designing a music magazine, I have decided to do some more research into the music that is in the charts at the moment, just to help me further understand my demographic and their likes and dislikes.

The music thats in the charts at the moment has a very upbeat, pop - influenced, 'mainstream' sound. The artists that are in the charts at the moment are mainly One Direction, Meghan Trainor, Bruno Mars, Ellie Goulding, Ed Sheeran, Jessie J etc.

However, the charts also includes music of other influences such as - pop punk/ rock, with bands in the charts such as 5 Seconds of Summer and Imagine Dragons.

I need to take these artists into consideration when re-designing my covers, because these are the factors that will cement my genre into being Pop.
