The Week hits new ABC heights with record 19% rise to 143,700

Dennis Publishing's market-leading news weekly outperforms the competition with stunning circulation results

London, 16 August 2007: The Week, Dennis Publishing's innovative weekly news magazine, today celebrated its 18th consecutive ABC rise. New ABC figures for January to July 2007 show that The Week has achieved yet another impressive ABC increase of 6.6% over the last six months and 19% over the year, with total circulation now standing at 143,700.

Over the last decade, The Week stands alone as the only magazine, of any kind, to have increased its circulation for 18 consecutive ABC periods and this record further cements its leading position in the weekly news market. Every week, the title distils the best of British and foreign media into 35 succinct editorial pages. Its positioning as 'all you need to know about everything that matters' has won it acclaim from influential opinion formers worldwide as an indispensable read, with an American edition launching successfully seven years ago and achieving its own audited circulation of 443,000.

Kerin O'Connor, Managing Director of The Week, comments 'The Week is the most consistent circulation performer of the last decade, finding thousands of new readers every month and is the most subscribed weekly magazine of any kind in the UK today. It is a fantastic achievement for Dennis Publishing'.

The Week readers are very strong advocates of the title to others, and word of mouth is an incredibly important part of the fast growing circulation. Strong financial backing from Dennis Publishing has ensured that there has been investment available when new marketing opportunities arise that has also attributed to the success of the title. The Week enjoys an incredibly loyal readership with over 130,000 copies being fully paid-for subscriptions.

Seth Hawthorne, Publisher of The Week: 'The Week sometimes feels like the best kept secret in the media world. 18 consecutive ABC increases is a fantastic record and a testament to the strength of the team behind it and the idea itself. In a relatively short period of time The Week has become a must-read for smart, influential people and they continue to spread the word about what the title does for them. For advertisers, we offer a fast-growing army of AB readers who are dedicated to the title. They are completely engaged with what has become a must-read every week.'
