Research on Main Image of Music Magazines

My research of a diverse range of music magazines showed that a music magazine is most likely to use a male solo artist as the front cover of their magazine who is looking directly into the camera.

Then it's next likely to be a band looking into the camera:

Then it's female solo artists looking into the camera.

The next likely main image is a male solo artist who isn't looking into the camera:

Then it's a band who isn't looking into the camera:

And the least likely main image is of a female solo artist who isn't looking into the camera.

My research also showed that plain backgrounds are often used in magazines with either white, grey or black backgrounds. 5 out of 30 magazines had a coloured background. Most covers have a main picture which is the only picture but some have smaller ones as well to go next to the subheadings. 9 out of 30 magazines had smaller images as well as a main one. 19 out of 30 magazines used red on their covers.
