January-June 1999 ABCs – Performance By Publisher
Here is a full breakdown of each title’s performance in the latest ABC audit, by publisher. The titles lists are not entirely exhaustive as certain magazines may not have reported in the previous period or may not have been classed a consumer magazine. This list, therefore, is intended as a guide to the performance of the main UK consumer magazine publishers rather than as a definitive list of each of their titles or total circulations.
