Record Mirror

Popular UK consumer music publication published from 1954 to 1991

Record Mirror was a United Kingdom weekly music newspaper published between 1954 and 1991 for pop fans and record collectors. Launched two years after the New Music Express, it generally lagged NME in circulation. The first UK album chart was published in Record Mirror in 1956, and during the 1980s it was the only consumer music paper to carry the official singles chart for the UK and UK album charts used by the BBC for both Radio 1 and Top of the Pops, as well as providing the US Billboard Magazine Charts.
Record Mirror became "Record and Radio Mirror" on September 29, 1973.
The title ceased publication in April 1991 when owner United Newspapers closed or sold most of their consumer magazines. In 2010 Giovanni di Stefano bought the name Record Mirror and re-launched it as an online music gossip website in 2011. The website became inactive in 2013 following di Stefano’s jailing for fraud.
