The September 11th, 2011 issue of Time magazine sold 124,844 single copies, according to ABC statistics. It outsold the prior year’s issue in that time slot by 51,252 copies or a whopping 70%.
That’s an impressive pick up!
But what a cover it was. Clearly this tragic anniversary remains an important milestone that still resonates deeply. Subject Matter Matters.
However, there were 4 other issues in 2011 that sold even better for the weekly magazine:
December 26th, 2011 (Person of the Year/Protester): 142,673
