Top of The Pops Double Page Spread

N-dubz are extremely prevalent artists at the moment hence the reason for their featuring in the magazine. The magazine is keen to convey the group's ideas and attitudes towards other established pop artists and events currently unfolding and evolving within the music industry.

The colour scheme adopted for the mast head , textual information and for the borders around the images on the page mirror the prominant and bold colours worn by the group. N-dubz are successful in representing a variety of demographies which are evident through this image. The pose and aesthetic that they adopt appears to be quite authoritive and veers slightly to a grime-ish/urban genre, therefore they appeal to an audience of anti-authority rebels among the teenage age group; however the genre of music that they produce evidently adopts the general theme and ideologies upheld by the genre of pop music.

The magazine ask fairly controversial and provocative questions in the interview with N-dubz to provoke a reaction from the group, for example "Is Lady GaGa really a man?" and "So guys, do you think the Sugababes should split up?" in a fairly colloquialised manner; this consolidates a close and personal relationship between the reader and the magazine, but also between the reader and the artist in question.
