Justin Bieber does not sell magazines
5 Jul 2011, 3:57 pm

Justin Bieber apparently is not good for magazine sales.

The pop star whose face is plastered all over your niece's bedroom walls also had his face plastered on the February cover of Vanity Fair. And according to Women's Wear Daily, that issue was the lowest-seller for the glossy magazine in 12 years, moving an estimated 246,000 copies. (This year, according to figures from Audit Bureau of Circulations, Vanity Fair has averaged about 342,000 sales per issue.)

But VF is not the only victim. Other Bieber-related magazines have been similarly afflicted.
