Barack Obama is BIG Seller on the Newsstand

This issue of The Week is the latest in the string of Barack Obama Magazine covers to hit the newsstand.

And, that’s not surprising. Especially after seeing the 250,000 (the number keeps going up!) person crowd in Berlin yesterday or learning that bombshell Pam Anderson threw her boobs support behind Barack Obama.

Last week’s controversial cover of the New Yorker was a virtual sell-out on newsstands with early estimates at 75,000 up from the weekly average of 43,000, reports the NY Post. (Most copies are sold via subscription.)

For Us Weekly, the cover featuring Obama and his wife Michelle sold between 900,000 and 1 million, above the magazine’s 800,000 weekly newsstand average.

Obama is also on the cover of the recent double issue of Rolling Stone, which could sell as many as 250,000, also above the magazine’s newsstand average for double issues.

Said a spokeswoman for Time, “Of our five covers featuring Obama and/or Hillary Clinton. . . this year, they either sold significantly above average or above average. On the other hand, the John McCain cover this year sold just below average, reports the NY Post.
