Q is a British monthly music magazine with a circulation of 130,179 (as of June 2007) [1] , founded in 1986 by Mark Ellen ( eng. Mark Ellen ) and David Hepworth ( eng. David Hepworth ). In contrast to the popular music press ( NME , Melody Maker ), the magazine was primarily addressed to music fans of middle and older and was modeled on the early Rolling Stone . At first, the magazine had a subtitle: “The modern guide to music and more” was called Cue (from “cueing a record” - “preparing the record for launch”), but soon the heading was changed (to avoid confusion: the snooker magazine was also called ).
