Bauer's Closer, Hearst's Best and IPC's Now, and OK! all record double-digit falls, year on yearRichard Desmond's Star magazine has jumped into the top 10 biggest sellers in the women's weeklies market, after reporting a 16.5% sales surge in the second half of 2013.But there were double digit year-on-year falls for Bauer's number three ranked Closer, sixth ranked OK! magazine, Hearst's Best and IPC's Now in the six months to end of December.Northern & Shell's Star, which has been one of the worst performers in the sector, jumped from 11th to 8th biggest women's weekly in the UK with sales of 260,693 in the second half.This was a 16.5% increase over the previous period, and a 3.4% increase year on year, according to the latest Audit Bureau of Circulations figures, published on Thursday.

Star also had 1,103 digital edition sales, which are included as long as they are purchased for at least 20% of the print cover price, taking its total circulation to 261,796.Among the top 10 sellers Bauer's third-ranked Closer was the biggest faller with sales down 15%...
