3. Kim Kardashian, December 2007 – Broke Ad Sales Record
The majority of this list focuses on the actual issues sold of Playboy at a typical newsstand. But judging a magazine strictly off the number of copies sold at newsstands can be misleading. Subscriptions and bulk orders by convenience stores are not included in the numbers. Plus, if a magazine sells out its supply, it’s indicative that demand is so high that it has trouble keeping issues in stock.
This brings us to America’s favorite trainwreck: Kim Kardashian. When advertisers found out she was on the cover, Playboy added 57 pages of ads when the average is only around 37. This was the most in Playboy’s history.
