These are the titles that are top, middle and bottom of the market. I think the popularity of the magazine covers mainly reflect on what is on the front of the magazine and who the audience are. For example any age group would be interested in the top section of the market, for example magazine ‘choice’ because they include information about soaps and younger generation television series. Magazine’s people may buy weekly or on the odd occasion which leads them to being separated into the ‘top’ ‘middle’ and ‘bottom’ section of market . Also people may be attracted to the design of the magazine cover, for example a magazine like Heat has a big Bold red title, this would probably  attract the younger generation. Where as Take a Break looks more cheap and would probably be attracted to the older generation.
