Unlike art music, popular music is distributed to a large group of listeners. Popular music benefits the market economy as it makes a profit, most commercial music retailers will put their music on radio stations or on television advertisements.

Heres a spider diagram of different types of music genre. There is many types of genres, some are more popular then others as some genres fit into "Popular Music".
Here is an example of a rock magazine "Kerrang". Without knowing this was a rock magazine, you could spot the ideology on the cover. Firstly, the lead singer of "Green Day" is the main image. It also includes in big bold lettering "GREEN DAY". This is to attract an audience that might like "Green Day" so they will buy the magazine. It's also writen in the same font as "Kerrang" is written, this implys that they are both the same thing, they are both rock genre for example. You know it's a music magazine as the lead singer is holding a guitar. Guitars are usually assoicated with rock genre. Some of the text above the "GREEN DAY" has been writen in green.
