Obama Covers Become Best-Selling '06 Issues For,

Media Industry Newsletter has the story: The results are in for the best-selling newsstand covers of 2006, with Barack Obama spelling high sales for news weeklies. Both Time and Newsweek featured cover shots of the Democratic candidate on their best-selling issues, with Time's "extreme close-up" cover proving a hit and Newsweek striking gold with an arms-crossed Obama and smiling Hillary Clinton standing side by side. No surprise, October's Suri Cruise photo extravaganza sold the most copies for Vanity Fair, though her parents' selling power plummeted by December, when the Tom Cruise-Katie Holmes "Dream Wedding" cover resulted in the year's worst seller for Us Weekly.
