Vanity Fair Numbers

FAIRING WELL: Suri Cruise proved to be a bankable cover subject for Vanity Fair. The October issue featuring the first published photos of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’ dark-haired offspring sold 713,776 newsstand copies, according to figures reported to the Audit Bureau of Circulations. The issue was the bestseller of 2006, and came in just behind Vanity Fair’s best-selling issue in the second half of last year — the September 2005 issue featuring Jennifer Aniston sold 738,929 single copies. Suri’s appeal also crossed over to the Internet: Vanityfair.com drew 4.3 million page views and 1.9 million unique visitors to its Web site the day after the photos were posted. The site usually draws about 60,000 page views and 20,000 uniques on an average day. The October issue also helped Vanity Fair post its third consecutive record-breaking half in terms of total circulation. For the second half of last year, total paid and verified circulation grew 2.6 percent, to 1,239,850, the highest ever, and its average single-copy sales remained flat at 445,635. —

  I am not surprised by this news. I am absolutely estatic about it. Tom will never lose his appeal to his true fans. Anything or anyone who is close to him is very fortunate. Suri has two great parents who love her very much. The tabloids are still printing garbage about their marriage and their relationship. It angers me is to put it mildly. I will not purchase any magazine or tabloid that continues to print negative untruths about this loving couple. I would hope all Tom Cruise fans everywhere will do the same!!!!! Thanks for the positive news about that Vanity Fair issue. I am proud to say I am one of those who bought it as soon as it came out. I had it saved for me even though when I called Walgreens they said they had 30 copies. In the 20 minutes it took for me to get there, the only one left was the one I had them save for me!!!!!! What does that tell those who think his popularity is downhill!!! NEVER WILL HAPPEN. NOT IN MY WORLD!!!!!

  Such a good report! No surprise because Tom and Katie’s love affair intrigued a lot of their fans, and not surprisingly people wanted to see their baby.

  My VF mag with Tom, Katie, and Suri is still on my coffee table since the day I bought it. I feel like they’re my family, therefore their family picture is also in my living room.
