The magazines statistics identified the categories by type or genre so clearly, and highlighted which magazines were the most popular, by the number of magazines bought, and in some cases given away to the general public free as part of internal advertising via various companies. Magazines that were given away free to customers within the UK ranked highly within the UK popular magazine statistics chart.

In regards to the top 10  magazines,the contrast between both countries were startling. Magazines relating to Cable & Analogue TV along with food related magazines, dominated the ratings for the Top 10 Most Popular Magazines.
Sky Magazine, Sky Sports Magazine & Sky Movies Magazine received the top 3 ranking, and has done so for the last 3 or so years. Hot on it’s heel’s however is the Tesco & Asda Magazine, with fellow supermarket food magazine, Sainsbury’s Fresh Ideas Magazine beaten into 7th place by the only non TV  or food related magazine in the top 10 popular magazine statistic chart. The National Trust Magazine comes in at number 6.
TV Choice, What’s on TV and The Radio Times complete the UK’s Top Ten most Popular magazines. Social & Fashion media magazines complete the genre of magazines consumers within the UK subscribe to in large quantities.

Within the USA, the magazine statistics show a completely different side to the lifestyles of the American public when the Top 10 Magazines are revealed to identify which one of them is the most popular.
