Cover Girls: Beyonce and Miley Win, Taylor Mixed, Nick Minaj Flops

WWD breaks it down breaks it down on who is hit and who is a flop so far this year. Some of the results are mixed.

Beyonce is clearly the cover girl superstar from the survey. She covered Vogue in March which even outsold an exclusive interview and cover featuring Michelle Obama. Miley Cyrus and her new look a big hit with the March Cosmo.

Taylor Swift is hit or miss. Her Elle cover was the best seller of the year. While, the April Vanity Fair is the mag's worst seller.

The outright flops go to the InStyle cover featuring Selena Gomez and Harper's Bazarr with Jennifer Lopez.

It's one thing for your cover not sell all that well. But, it's another to be thought of as 'newsstand poison.' That's the dubious honor for the top cover flop Nicki Minaj. Appearing on the April cover of Elle and in Teen Vogue in June-July, she sold the second fewest number of copies for both.
