POPulár was a Slovak music magazine that mapped the domestic and international music scene, maintaining also POP awards. The magazine was published monthly since 1970, until its termination in 1992 (Note: In July 2008, the magazine was restored by Nový Populár, issued twice a month).[5] Gombitová won four times as the Best Female Singer (1983, 1986, 1987-8), and once she received the Best Album award (1987).[6]
Mladé rozlety,[E] established by the poet Ivan Štrpka[7] was a color magazine intended for teenagers and the youth. After two sampler issues, the periodical was released weekly since January 1987,[8] and in the 90's renamed as M-Report. Apart from music polls, the magazine also organized a national contest of Slovak amateur bands.[9] Gombitová won one poll (1988).[6]
A video release of the album on VHS, also entitled Ateliér duše, followed the album in 1987, as the first video-cassette ever released by a Czechoslovak artist.[11]
