NME's up... just

Although it's no closer to retaking the 'worlds biggest rock weekly' title from Kerrang, the nme can take a little comfort at another slight nudge upwards in its circulation figures. The return of rock and half-naked pictures of Craig from the Vines has at least stopped the drain of readers, and the paper has now experienced a full year of rising sales.

Meanwhile, Q manages to replace the readers it had to forget about when it was found to have been getting its figures wrong last time round, and Uncut and Mojo are both doing well.

The dance music magazine sector looks to be dead, though. Expect more panic measures from Mixmag and Muzik in the next few months, followed by closure of at least one of them.
