POPulár
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). Gombitová won four times as the Best Female Singer (1983, 1986, 1987-8), and once she received the Best Album award (1987).

Mladé rozlety
Mladé rozlety, established by the poet Ivan Štrpka was a color magazine intended for teenagers and the youth. After two sampler issues, the periodical was released weekly since January 1987, and in the 90's renamed as M-Report. Apart from music polls, the magazine also organized a national contest of Slovak amateur bands. Gombitová won one poll (1988).
