Mag ABCs, men’s titles: Big falls for Nuts, Zoo and FHM

By Dominic Ponsford

Men's Health remained the top-selling men's magazine in the UK in the first half of 2011, despite losing 11.1 per cent of its circulation year on year.

The previously robust NatMag performer fell to 218,368 sales a month while next-placed FHM fell even faster, by 19.2 per cent to 155,557.

The men's weeklies continued to have the toughest time, with Nuts falling 22.5 per cent year on year to 114,019 and Zoo falling 32.1 per cent to 54,318.

In terms of overall circulation, free weekly titles Shortlist and Sport continue to top the table.
