Analysis:
I haven’t bought a music magazine for a long time... Let me introduce the situation before.
I bought "Contemporary Music Circle" before (in 1995 or 1996), but it became worse and worse and had almost nothing to do with music, so I stopped buying it.
"Popular Songs" mainly introduces original music from the mainland, focusing on the new songs released at that time and introductions to singers. Many popular songs at the time include sheet music, introductions to songs, etc. Later, it gradually focused on rock and roll, and then became It was dedicated to rock, and later it seemed to be divided into two editions (pop and rock), and I don’t know what happened after that. I bought it from 1997 to 2000.
"Popular Songs". In the past, the style was similar to "Popular Songs". Later, music and entertainment began to coexist, and things from all over the world were introduced. It’s not bad for those who like pop music. I bought it from 1997 to around 2001. I don't know if it still exists now.
"Light Music". It used to be one book, but when the Korean wave came, there was a Japanese and Korean version. Overall good. The price was “good” too…. I have only bought it for more than a year, so I don’t know much about it, so I won’t go into details.
"International Music Exchange". My favorite music magazine. It truly is a "music magazine". Produced by China National Radio. The pages are full-color, the printing is exquisite, and the articles and content are all very good, and they have their own unique features: such as columns and articles about famous DJs from various places, and a special issue in each issue, which introduces some culture and art (such as tattoos, musical instruments). The most important thing is that it is the same size as "Contemporary Music", 0.8CM thick, full color, only 10 yuan, and comes with a CD. A Japanese and Korean version was also released midway, but this did not affect its quality. Unfortunately I can no longer buy it... I have almost all of the magazine. I think I will stay forever.
"Music Life Newspaper". This is the same magazine that passed away. Its president was composer Wang Min. The focus was on mainland music, initially in black and white, then in color, and things became popular in popular styles. The feature is a full page of original music charts from various radio stations throughout the week and a page of aria introduction. Anyone who knows it knows that many of the songs that are popular now were released many years ago. This newspaper is very important to me because I have met many people through it. For example, I met Horqinfu in 1997, and I witnessed the debut of stars such as Sun Nan and Han Hong. Ha ha. And it’s because of it that I really fell in love with music (I used to love listening to songs). This newspaper is a weekly. I have been buying one issue for more than 4 years.
Others: Everything about "Music View" is extraordinary; "Fans World" is also very average, and I don't understand the others. Based on my experience in buying magazines, other so-called music magazines have no connection with music. Otherwise I would have an impression. Because I haven’t bought many such magazines since 2001.
