Q272 - March, on sale January 27

The Killers: Three albums in and the band are at the top of their game. Q cruises round Las Vegas with the band talking Zen, Mormonism and, ahem, Dire Straits. Then thrashing the living daylights out of a Cadillac in the Nevada desert.

Take That: It's no holds barred as we catch up with the band whose reunion puts all others in the shade. Drugs, groupies, Robbie's will-he-won't-he return and why Mark Owen wasn't "equipped" for some of the band's touring activities.

Chasing Amy: What is it like facing a platoon of paparazzi every day - and more to the point what exactly is it like camping out on the pavement to catch that perfect undignified shot? Q reports from the frontline after spending four days in Camden on the tail of tabloid casualty Amy Winehouse.

Top Of The Pops: A lament for the once mighty, unmissable, national talking point show that championed pop for successive generations. Those involved in repeated efforts to resuscitate in its repeated death throes tell their stories.

The Fray: "Writing about love is a bit like writing about eggs," according to The Fray. So we scrambled the masters of radio-friendly melancholia to take part in our latest Q Challenge, recording a Valentine's song in just 24 hours.
