Men’s Health remained the top-selling men’s magazine in the second half of 2012 despite losing print sales at a rate of 8.4 per cent year on year.
But digital edition sales (audited separately by ABC) add 12,676 a month to that total.
The two free weekly titles Shortlist and Sport still head the table while FHM, Nuts and Zoo all saw big falls.
