Billboard Magazine (September 17, 2022)

.
Print Edition of BB Magazine (198 pages!!!). Will only keep available until next one, it takes up a lot of my dropbox allowance.

What's happened to this magazine? Once essential, if this was stuffed in my letterbox it'd go straight in the bin with the junk mail.

27 pages before we even get to the contents, reams of advertisements and snippets of the charts.
Not much reading in it. Maybe I'm getting too old and this is what the kids want

[kingofskiffle]

I would suggest that nowadays the magazine is an after thought. The Tie Tok Generation want short and instant and articles delivered in their emails.... SO a website does more than the magazine. Maybe I'm wrong...

Here's last week's print edition of BB magazine. 310 pages of not very much to be honest. More of a magazine of adverts. Anyway, enjoy

808MB ????? Why so big?

[Robbie]

808MB ????? Why so big?

It's probably down to the large amount of pictures / graphics in the issue. They tend to dramatically increase the file size of a PDF

[BrainDamageII]

808MB ????? Why so big?

It was twice the size originally!!! Had to reduce it down

[beatlened]

There's a 60mb version available here https://downmagaz.net/music_mag/3284...d-1082022.html

I do not seem to have them for 2020.... I have the 5 Dec issue charts but that's just the weekly ones.

[WolfSpear]

Great, thank you so much!
