What will go in my table of contents?

In order to fully finish my table of contents, I realized that I had to decide what will go in it, because despite the fact that I will only be creating one spread of the magazine, the whole product will have several things, so I decided to brainstorm and come up with different ideas in these following sections:

Features
Women Empowerment Through Music (Becky G, Natalie Natasha, Srta Dayana, etc.): an article on how several female artists are using their art (music) to empower women--with topics of breakups, sensuality, being unapologetic and more in their songs.
- The Origin of Our Salsa Roots

Opinion Pieces
Reggaeton Article: an article either on whether listening to reggaeton is good or bad (the stuff it's associated with and whether it makes you "less cultured," etc.) or an article on how toxic reggaeton is (the toxic masculinity, degradation of women, etc.)
- Why Pitbull will never run out of style?: what it means for him to have gotten the "Mr 305" and "Mr. Worldwide" nicknames and what that in itself means for the Latin community and more.

Reviews
- Rosalia: a review on her album "El Mal Querer"
- J-Balvin and Bad Bunny: a review on their album "Oasis"

Extra/Niche
- Mi Gente: a spread on Latinx people and their thoughts on certain music, what their favorite genre is, favorite artists, empowerment through Latin music, diversity, etc. It means "my people" in English and was inspired by J-Balvin's hit song of the same title.
- “Lo mas pegao”: Translated it means "the hottest tunes" in Cuban Spanish (yes, that's a whole thing on its own). It would essentially be a list of some sort of the hottest tunes of the moment.
- Hispanic Heritage Month: a spread on this event; would only be featured on a time-relevant issue, though since it only takes place in October
- "What Should You Listen to?": an interactive quiz to capture the readers' attention and take their mind off text-heavy pages
- Artists You Don't Know but Probably Should: a spread comprised of rather small or not-so-talked-about Latin/Hispanic artists who deserve more recognition; a way for even young artists in the community to showcase their art and obtain a platform
- Country of the Month: the idea is to make this what makes each issue special. Every issue (every month), the magazine would focus on a specific country and delve into its music history, as well as talk about its present and feature well-known artists from there.
