I got these results from http://dezji.wordpress.com/2009/02/12/uk-music-magazine-circulation-figures-to-dec-2008/
Classic Rock 70,188 (66,632 / 67,399)
Kerrang! 52,272 (60,294 / 76,937)
Metal Hammer 50,269 (48,540 / 45,809)
Mixmag 30,159 (34,073 / 35,817)
Mojo 100,507 (106,367 / 106,218)
NME 48,459 (56,284 / 64,033)
Q 103,017 (113,174 / 131,330)
Rock Sound 20,011 (22,527 / 23,021)
Terrorizer 13,786 (14,952)
Uncut 87,069 (86,925 / 91,028)
Word 34,280 (33,775 / 33,217)
These results show that the most popular magazine in this particular year was a classic rock magazine, with Kerrang! coming a close second. Kerrang! being high in sales doesn't surprise me, but a classic rock magazine does, this is because Kerrang! includes many genres of music whereas a classic rock magazine would only contain classic rock. I think this surprising result could be due to older people buying a classic rock magazine as well as teenagers giving it a much wider audience unlike Kerrang! which is a more teenage based magazine.
