Question:

What genre of music does the british Q magazine focus on?


Answers:

It also has an extensive review section, featuring: new releases (music), reissues (music), music compilations, film and live concert reviews as well as radio and television reviews. It uses a star rating system from one to five stars, indeed the rating an album receives in Q is often added to print and television advertising for the album in the UK and Ireland. It also compiles a list of approximately eight albums, which it classes as the best new releases of the last three months.

Much of the magazine is devoted to interviews with popular or new musical artists.

The magazine is well known for compiling lists; it has made lists ranging from "The 100 Greatest Albums" to the "100 Greatest Rock Lists". The most famous of these is the classic "50 bands to see before you die". Every other month Q and its sister magazine Mojo have a special edition magazine — these magazines have been about musical times, genres, or very important musicians.

Often promotional gifts are given away with the magazine, such as cover-mounted CDs or books. The January 2006 issue included a free copy of "The Greatest Rock and Pop Miscellany … Ever!", modelled on Schott's Original Miscellany.

Every issue of Q has a different message on the spine. Readers then work out what the message has to do with the contents of the magazine. This practice — known as the "spine line" — has since become commonplace among British lifestyle magazines, including Q's movie-centric sister magazine Empire, and the football monthly FourFourTwo.

Usual features include The Q50, wherein the magazine lists the top 50 essential tracks of the month; Cash for Questions, in which a famous celeb answers question sent in by readers, who win £25 if their question is printed; Ten Commandments, where a particular singer create their very own ten commandments by which to live; and Rewind, in which the magazine takes us back in time through the history of music through archive issues of Q. On March 4, 2007, "Q" named Elvis Presley the greatest singer of all time.

Q's current editor is Paul Rees, former editor of the UK edition of Kerrang!, another musical Emap publication based on heavier rock/metal music.

In 2006 Q published a readers' survey; the 100 Greatest Songs Ever, won by Oasis' Live Forever.

In the April 2007 issue, Q published an article containing the 100 Greatest Singers, won by Elvis Presley
