RETROPOP

A pleasure as always to work with independent artist Bright Light Bright Light on the campaign for his latest album 'Enjoy Youth'! Across three consecutive issues of the magazine we ran a six-page interview feature, double-page exclusive track-by-track by the artist and full-page review, along with various online stories and playlist support. The chart positions speak for themselves - the highest of his career to date: UK Independent Album Breakers - 1 UK Independent Albums - 3 UK Record Store - 6 UK Album Downloads - 7 UK Albums Sales - 8 UK Physical Albums - 9 UK Vinyl Albums - 9 UK Albums Chart - 60

Just a snapshot of some of the ✨INCREDIBLE✨ feedback RETROPOP gets from readers around the world👇

The Eurovision Song Contest is always one of the busiest times in the pop calendar and 2024 has been no exception! This year, we increased our usual coverage to include realtime updates on the Grand Final via the RETROPOP website, while engaging with readers on social media. Additionally, we've delivered three months of print coverage - featuring all of the entries, preparations for the show and the Grand Final itself - plus all the daily news (which, if you've been following this year's Contest, you'll know has been a lot!). Sweden and SVT did a superb job hosting. See you in Switzerland for Eurovision 2025!

🎉RETROPOP turns TWO🎉 OK, so *technically* that was a good few weeks back, since we soft-launched in December 2021. BUT... Three months later, in ⚡️March 2022⚡️, we took the leap and Irresistible published the first monthly edition of the magazine and began a wild ride, navigating a space that's notoriously difficult and incredibly fickle. I knew when we started that it was all or nothing and if this was going to work, we had to look beyond specialist stores and D2C, positioning the brand alongside all the other major-publisher-backed titles on offer. 📚So, having started out in WHSmith and local newsagents, we soon attracted the attention of supermarkets across the UK (Asda, Sainsbury's, Waitrose & Partners), along with entertainment giants like HMV, helping us reach new audiences while building up a global subscriber base. 📲In that time, we also partnered with PressReader to expand our digital reach and have the title serviced to airlines and hotels globally, along with users' devices directly. ✨And of course, we continue to work closely with some of the biggest and most iconic companies in music - Sony Music Entertainment, Universal Music Group, BMG - The New Music Company, Warner Music Group, to name a few - to deliver leading, exclusive content every day across print and online. Looking back, it's wild to have gone from the seed of an idea to a global brand that reaches in excess of six million monthly users across platforms and thousands in print - and yet it still feels as though we're only getting started. As we embark upon the next chapter in our journey with our recently-launched 🌱seed fundraising round🌱, now seemed like the perfect opportunity to reflect on what we've achieved so far say a huge 'thank you' to everyone involved. We have big plans for the future and I'm so excited for what's in store for Irresistible🤐 Here's to everything that's still to come🙌🏼

Ahead of the 68th Eurovision Song Contest in Malmö, Sweden next month, RETROPOP exclusively caught up with the country's performers, Marcus & Martinus, about their song 'Unforgettable', the advice they received from reigning winner Loreen and why the UK should change its approach to the biggest show in music. Big thanks to Harry Wilton for organising!
