Popstar! Magazine is a worldwide released entertainment magazine featuring news stories on celebrities.

History

Popstar! Magazine is a nationally recognized entertainment magazine published in print and digital editions. It was founded by editor in chief Matthew Rettenmund and was first published on October 15, 1998, with the then-new boy band 98 Degrees on its inaugural cover. Popstar! was the first U.S. teen-entertainment title to be published in full color and on glossy paper throughout. In a September 1, 2004, article in Folio magazine, media critic Simon Dumenco wrote, "Popstar!, in short, created a new blueprint for the teen celebrity magazine market," arguing that its design and approach influenced Bonnie Fuller and the tidal wave of celebrity tabloids of the early 2000s. The magazine later expanded to include fashion and beauty elements, albeit with a very celebrity-oriented twist. As of 2011, Popstar! was the oldest continuously published teen-entertainment title in America.

Popstar! is known for its interaction with readers via social media. Popstar has over 330 million views on YouTube, 2 million Facebook likes, and 445,000 Twitter followers. Popstar's former Editor-in-Chief Colleen Broomall often appeared on syndicated radio and television shows as a pop culture expert.
