They could have the best music coverage in America and it wouldn't matter.

Entertainment Weekly has always put music third and often fourth in their coverage. There are many magazines that do music better and they know this.

However, nobody covers television better than EW, and they have no equals among film magazines either. They're going to want to play to their strengths. Music only comes into play when its TV-released (Idols), gossip related (Britney, Justin) or in that rare case, a phenomenon who also happens to be pretty (Alicia).

Other than their summer music issue, the number of music covers per year is always hovering around five.

To, you know, contrast and compare.
