ISSUE 2: BRYAN ADAMS

Launching our print magazine, Canadian superstar Bryan Adams was front and centre celebrating the release of his superb 15th album, ‘So Happy It Hurts’, and looking back over four decades of chart success.

ISSUE 3: DARREN HAYES

Former Savage Garden star Darren Hayes fronted our May issue as he prepared to return to the charts with ‘Homosexual’, his first solo album in a decade, and looked back on his career from the nineties until now.

ISSUE 4: RICK ASTLEY

Celebrating 35 years since the release of his debut album ‘Whenever You Need Somebody’, Stock Aitken Waterman protege Rick Astley headed up our fourth issue with a celebration of his massive eighties success and triumphant return to the top of the charts.

ISSUE 5: SKIN

Ahead of their performance at Grace Jones’ Meltdown Festival in London, Skunk Anansie frontwoman Skin was the face of our 2022 Pride issue, celebrating queer pop excellence, as she looked back on the group’s 25 years of chart success and the challenges she faced as a Black woman on the nineties music scene.

ISSUE 6: BANANARAMA

In a huge celebration of their 40th anniversary, Bananarama graced the cover of our August issue as Sara Dallin and Keren Woodward unveiled their superb album ‘Masquerade’ and reflected on the highs and lows of four decades in the spotlight and a lifetime of friendship.

ISSUE 7: STEPS

Britain’s premier pop group Steps marked 25 years together in style with an epic cover feature that saw Claire Richards, Faye Tozer, Ian ‘H’ Watkins, Lee Latchford-Evans and Lisa Scott-Lee celebrate their legacy and prove the doubters wrong with their impressive ‘Platinum Collection’.

ISSUE 8: MELANIE C

As the final Spice Girl to release a memoir, Melanie C took residence on the cover of our October issue to commemorate the release of her brilliant book, ‘Who I Am’, celebrating her life in music, success as Sporty Spice and her chart-topping solo career.

ISSUE 9: BETTY BOO

Back with her first album in three decades, Betty Boo’s return to the charts covered our November issue, as the lady herself opened up about stepping away from music at a time when Madonna was desperate to sign her and returning with her third album ‘Boomerang’ 30 years later.

ISSUE 10: JANET JACKSON

Stepping behind ‘The Velvet Rope’, we delved deep into the archives for a celebration of Janet Jackson’s seminal sixth album, celebrating its 25th anniversary with a deep dive into the LP and an iconic era in the career of one of pop’s biggest stars.

ISSUE 11: BELINDA CARLISLE

For the final issue of 2022, Belinda Carlisle kickstarted her comeback with news of new music – including her first pop album in over 25 years – and revealed what’s to come during her spring ‘Decades Tour’, including her personal-favourite deep cuts!
