Music magazines that follow this sort of genre style are magazines like 'Q' and 'Rolling Stone'.
This is present in this example of Q:
This contents page shows that Q magazine has artists such as 'The Vaccines and Biffy Clyro' these artists are all part of the rock/indie genre. Additionally there is also 'Nicki Minaj' who is typically a rap/hip-hop artist. Furthermore 'Chase and Status' are also featured on this contents page, this group is part of the drum and base/dub-step genre.
This all indicates that Q has multiple genres but they're all 'mainstream' artists who are quite popular and well-known.
Therefore, I am going to follow this sort of mainstream music style for my music magazine. I am going to try and use multiple genres but to make sure I do have a target audience, I will make sure the artists will be 'well-known' artists as a music magazine with no particular style of music are quite risky as most music magazines have a specific target audience to guarantee profits.
Additionally, my questionnaire has helped me to decide this. Many people said that they liked these types of genres - pop, R&B and rock/indie.
So my target audience, genre-wise, will be 'mainstream' audiences who like popular music, chart music and music that is well-known which covers a few 'mainstream' genres.
