Here is a copy of the top 40 in the UK. As part of my task i had to analyze the type of music in the charts. Most of the music in the top 40 is pop and mainstream music. This tells me that my idea of grime/rap probably wouldn't sell well within the music world which indicates it would not be as popular as other magazines such as pop or mainstream. This hasnt changed my mind about making a grime/rap genre' magazine, i see it as a challenge as pop magazines would be easier to produce. Even though there are a couple of rap genre songs in the Top 40 there main percentage is pop and mainstream.
