I am looking for a list of the top 30 - 50 magazine subscriptions sold
either on the Internet, newsstands, or in stores in the past year. 
The lastest the list the better.

Great, fast response.  I would use this service again!

Top could mean number of readers, total seconds read, total words
read, most effective advertising, most profit to stock holders and
several other criteria that could be added with appropriate finagle
factors. It does not seem reasonable to add internet hits to copies
delivered and purchased.   Neil

Hello,

I am interested in the USA only.  Thanks!

Again to clarify, I am interested in the name of magazine (example:
People, Sports Illistrated, Time, etc) and the number of gross
subscriptions sold to the consumer.  This would give me the an idea of
the popularity of magazine.

You are correct, it does give an idea, except some of these
subscriptions are sold in package deals, and I suspect some are
trashed without being opened.  Neil

That sounds like a winner.  Thank you

Thank you for the tip!
