KERRANG BOUNCES BACK
The good people at the Audit Bureau of Circulations have finished totting up, and there's a huge surprise in the music magazines sector: the NME has done well, with a nearly 10% increase in circulation year-on-year; more shockingly, Kerrang has reversed what had appeared to be a terminal decline putting on 23.2% - and that brings it back to threaten the NME's position as the world's (i.e. the UK's) largest-selling rock weekly: just 627 copies separate them now. One mid-air collision could wipe out the NME's entire advantage in the market, in other words. IPC are rumoured to be about to issue a panicky injunction banning its subscribers from travelling together on the same aeroplane.

Q 168,547 (5.1%)
Mojo 120,530 (5.2%)
Uncut 110,052 (0.0%)

Is it 23.2% or 18% ??? Facts, facts, facts! How many times.., etc.
Mixmag the only title to lose, I guess dance is officially dead then...
No (The) Word?
"The last two covers of Mojo were The Who and The Kinks, which appeal to 16-year-olds and 46-year-olds."
16-year-olds into the Kinks????
