The best and worst magazine sellers of 2011. According to the Audit Bureau of Circulation, Mila Kunis was the most profitable cover girl last year. Kunis graced the cover of “GQ’s best selling issue, drove sales up 15% with her W cover and over performed with Cosmo.”
Meanwhile, Justin Timberlake tanked (and not just at the box office, ahem, In Time). His two covers, for W and Esquire, were the worst-selling issues for each publication (selling 15K copies and 73K copies respectively). [source]
Maybe one reason is that that Esquire cover is FUCKING TERRIBLE?
Also, I’m really glad this was the year my girlfriend stopped obsessing over a guy from N’Sync and gave his place to a decent actor (Ryan Gosling)… Then again, why are children of the 90s so into Mousekateers? That said: Is it wrong to pleasure yourself to old pictures of Annette Funicello?
Justin Timberlake hasn’t really been #1 on the “creaming my jeans list” for some time now, but why the hell does Esquire read “Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!”??? That’s enough to scare anybody away, no matter who’s on the cover.
