Given that last week's issue was called a "Special Double Issue" and looks back on the Best and Worst of 2014, I thought it was the last issue of the year. (In years past the year-end issue has covered a span of two weeks.) Not this time. A final issue, dated December 29, came out yesterday, with Robin Williams on the cover, along with sidebar stories about the Obamas, Drew Barrymore, Lauren Scruggs (who?) and, ick, Stephen Collins.
And if you care about such things, Adweek is out with an article about the best- and worst-selling issues of the year, which is based on newsstand sales and driven primarily by the cover story. The best in 2014? The original story about the death of Robin Williams, dated August 25. (Sales: 1,169,800 copies) The worst: Hillary Clinton, dated June 16. (503,890 copies)
The article, which you can read here, also includes best/worst data for Us Weekly, Star and In Touch. Most interesting thing about all this: Other than a couple of sidebar stories, the Kardashians are nowhere. Not on the best selling covers, and not even on the worst. How about that?
