The Music Network was founded by
John Woodruff In January 2009, the magazine was sold to the music marketing and publishing group Peer Group Media, which is under the ownership of Adam Zammit, who replaced Woodruff as the new owner of
The Music Network. In September of that year it was publishing the "TopSwaps" chart, which monitored the number of songs downloaded from file-sharing sites each week.
TMN printed a total of 927 issues before the magazine ceasing to print their weekly magazine in March 2013, going fully online. However owners Peer Group Media continued to print
Sydney street magazine
The Brag at that time. In 2017,
TMN was acquired by Jake Challenor, who served as its publisher and editor. In 2019
The Music Network began operating the "TMN Country Hot 50" chart in co-operation with
Radio Monitor. The chart included airplay data and published a new chart every Friday morning. This replaced the previous "TMN Country Airplay Chart", and is "the most comprehensive country airplay chart in the history of Australian radio". In February 2022,
The Brag Media purchased
TMN, with Challenor joining The Brag Media as executive editor,
