In the Sundays, the Daily Star Sunday rose 6.46 per cent to 429,907 and the Mail on Sunday rose 4.43 per cent year-on-year to 2,319,788 – helped massively by a Prince CD promotion which added 600,000 sales alone on one week.
The Independent on Sunday continued to feel the benefits of its relaunch as ‘one big newspaper and one big magazine”. It rose 0.09 per cent to 216,371 year-on-year.
