The top 10 most read digital magazines by international readers

Readly has recently compiled a list of international favourites.

With over 140,000 issues, being read 99 million times on the magazine platform last year, Readly, the all-you-can-read app, has compiled a list of the most popular UK magazines by overseas readers. The list shows that UK tech and gadgets magazines are very popular, followed by health, lifestyle, cooking and home interior.

The most read UK magazine titles from international readers are:

1. What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision

2. T3

3. Stuff

4. Women's Health

5. BBC Home Cooking Series

6. HELLO!

7. House Beautiful

8. Real Homes

9. BBC Good Food

10. Red

“Looking at the most read titles it's not hard to guess that British food, gadget advice, celebrity and entertainment news are some of the things that Brits long for while being overseas. Recent lockdowns, that made it even more challenging to visit family and friends back home, have most likely increased the interest for British magazines”, says Chris Couchman, Head of Content at Readly.

Even if you live abroad it has been impossible to avoid the headlines that British Vogue made when putting singer Billie Eilish on the cover with a transformative look or when the American breakthrough star Dua Lipa was on the cover of British GQ 2020. These two covers have been the two most popular issues on the Readly platform during the last year and a half.

Another gem that overseas readers can´t keep from reading is the food magazine, BBC Good Food, published by Immediate. The most read issue on the Readly platform is their January edition 2021.
