Ratings (Who was the best dance act of all time)-1111111

The first thing I can tell about the target audience of the magazine is that they are targeting people roughly between the ages of 18-25. Mainly people who are of this age group and like the clubbing and house music scene.  As I can see from the adverts for festivals and clubs this magazine is targeting people who are very into travelling to places to hear music rather than sitting at home. O can also tell its targeted at active people because it has at least four pages based on a rating of who is the best Dance Act of all time.
