The publication

About Rolling Stone

Rolling Stone has covered music, and the culture around it, since 1967. It reports on artists, records, touring and the industry itself, and its profiles and rankings are treated as reference points rather than opinion pieces. It is read by fans, and it is read by the labels, managers and bookers who work in the business.

What the numbers mean for a feature

These figures describe the whole site. An individual article gets a share of that traffic, not all of it.

In music, where coverage appears is a statement about where an artist sits. Rolling Stone is one of the few titles whose name alone changes how a booker or a label reads an artist's one-sheet. A feature there is not just reach, it is a position, and positions are what the people around an artist are actually assessing.
