Select was a United Kingdom music magazine of the 1990s. It was known for covering the indie rock and Britpop genres, [2] but featured a wide array of music. [3] In 2003, The Guardian called Select "the magazine that not only coined the word Britpop, but soon came to define it." [4]

History [ edit ]

The magazine was launched under United Consumer Magazines in July 1990, [5] intending to be a rival to Q magazine. [6] Its first cover star was Prince . [6] [7] Its first issue sold 100,000 copies. [6] Between July and December 1990, its circulation hovered around 75,000. [8] In April 1991, Spotlight sold Select to EMAP Metro. [6] [9] Under the editorship of Mark Ellen , the magazine began focusing on the baggy and Madchester scenes. [6] The magazine soon became known for its coverage of Britpop , a term coined in the magazine by Stuart Maconie in its April 1993 "Yanks Go Home" edition, [10] featuring The Auteurs , Denim , Saint Etienne , Pulp and Suede 's Brett Anderson on the cover in front of a Union Flag . Several publications have called the April 1993 cover an important impetus in defining the movement's tone and opposition to American genres such as grunge . [11] [12]

Later, John Harris stepped down as editor, and was replaced by former Mixmag editor Alexis Petridis . [13] Under Petridis, the magazine's image moved back towards its coverage on an eclectic array of music, aiming to reach what Petridis described as "a wide range of music fans". [3] The magazine folded in late 2000, amid competition on the internet . [14] Periditis later stated of its closure: "No matter how many features we did on Destiny's Child , people still thought we were a magazine about Oasis . We were forever associated with a music [genre] in decline." [6]
