Top Of The Pops Magazine

BBC Magazines is to launch a Top of the Pops Magazine in the second half of February. It will be a monthly title, closely linked with the music of the programme. Aimed at 15 year-olds and upwards, it will be targetted at readers who are too old for Smash Hits and too young for Select. Editorially it will focus on the music rather than the looks or lifestyles of the bands.
