Spin (magazine)

Spin is a music magazine founded by Bob Guccione, Jr. in 1985. He sold it to Miller Publishing in 1997. In February 2006, Miller Publishing sold the magazine for less than US$5 million to a San Francisco-based company called the McEvoy Group LLC. That company formed Spin Media LLC as a holding company.

In 2008, the magazine began publishing a complete digital edition of each issue. In July 2012, Spin was sold to Buzzmedia, which eventually renamed itself SpinMedia. The September/October 2012 issue was the magazine's last print edition for nearly twelve years.

Spin was acquired in 2020 by Next Management Partners. Jimmy Hutcheson serves as Chief Executive Officer. Guccione, Jr. returned in 2020 and now serves as the Editor. The magazine returned to print as a quarterly publication in September 2024.
