Top of the Pops is a magazine run by the BBC, that is mainly based totally on pop music, but also includes pages of fashion and beauty.The Content
Top of the Pops is mostly concentrated on pop music, and cool current pop artists. The magazine also includes pages of low budget fashion and beauty and advice columns.
Language
Like Bliss magazine, the language used is informal therefore the magazine is associating themselves with that age group.
Mode of Address
Another similarity between TOTP and Bliss is the tone of the magazine being very familiar; making the reader feel comfortable and therefore more likely to continuously buy it. They also approach the reader as if they are an informed fan, they show this by referring to pop stars by their first names, e.g. "Harry", "Tom", and "Emma".
Colour Scheme and Font
There is a lot of pink and purple used. This suggests a female dominant readership, and also the young age of the readers. The fonts are big, bold and sometimes interesting.
Audience
It is obvious that the audience of this magazine is younger girls, and this is suggested by the advertisements featured in the magazine, the colour schemes and image dominant pages.

Layout
Pictures are very dominant on every page throughout the magazine. There is little text apart from in interviews. Narrative is broken up into colourful bubbles or blocks, making it easier to see and read.
