ABC: Better Homes and Gardens Tops Reader's Digest

Reader’s Digest, which once had bragging rights as the biggest-selling consumer magazine, can no longer claim that title, the Audit Bureau of Circulation’s latest figures reveal.
 
Excluding membership magazines like AARP The Magazine, Meredith’s Better Homes and Gardens now holds that distinction, with a total circ of 7.6 million, according to the ABC’s FAS-FAX covering the June-December 2009 period.
 
RD, now No. 2 at 7.1 million, which has deliberately cut its circulation in recent years to improve its profitability.
