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.[1] That company formed Spin Media LLC as a holding company.
In 2008, the magazine began publishing a complete digital edition of each issue.[2] In July 2012, Spin was sold to Buzzmedia, which eventually renamed itself SpinMedia.[3] The September/October 2012 issue was the magazine's last print edition for nearly twelve years.[4][5]
Spin was acquired in 2020 by Next Management Partners. Jimmy Hutcheson serves as Chief Executive Officer.[6] Guccione, Jr. returned in 2020 and now serves as the Editor. The magazine returned to print as a quarterly publication in September 2024.[7][8]
