Our fabulous figures mean Saga Magazine has scooped the title of ‘UK’s bestselling monthly magazine’ for the fourth year running

Saga Magazine - the UK's bestselling monthly magazine

The latest ABC release shows that Saga Magazine has delivered another strong performance, with a total circulation of 631,530, pushing growth up by 2.3%, period-on-period.

This terrific performance is seen against a backdrop of decline amongst many publishers, with double-digit falls for some of the UK’s leading titles.

Editor Katy Bravery said: "We're thrilled to post another rise in circulation. It shows that quality journalism remains in high demand. The strength of Saga Magazine lies in its intelligent, eclectic content and we will continue to both surprise, amuse and inform our readers.

“Our recent redesign went down well too - I received many hundreds of letters about it. As a subscription magazine, it is that unique relationship we have with our many readers that I feel is one of the most vital, and happy, keys to our ongoing success."
