Over the last 20 years Q has become an authority on its subject and has remained at the forefront of credible music. Q is the essential music guide.
In a publishing first Q magazine have produced 20 different collectable covers to commemorate their anniversary. The biggest names in music were quick to line up and take part with this special initiative.

Q Editor Paul Rees: “The 20th anniversary of Q, the essential music guide, is a landmark moment, and therefore we were determined to mark it with a landmark publishing event. I believe we have done so. I can think of few magazines anywhere in the world who could exclusively photograph, interview and do separate covers with 20 of the biggest and most iconic stars in their world. That Q has done so is befitting for a magazine with its rich history and stature.”
