Closer Weekly Magazine and Dr. Oz The Good Life Magazine Are The Co-Hottest Magazine Launch of the Year

For the first time since 2000, two magazines shared the title “Hottest Launch of the Year.” Bauer Publishing’s Closer Weekly and Hearst Magazines’ Dr. Oz The Good Life were named earlier today as the co-hottest launches of the year. In 2000, American Profile and O, The Oprah Magazine were named co-launches of the year.

Closer weekly is the first major weekly magazine launch since 2004 and Dr. Oz The Good Life is the first new magazine to go to a second printing since 2000.

The Hottest Launches’ event took place at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in New York City. The 30 Hottest Magazine Launches of 2014 were honored at the event that is held annually in partnership with min: media industry newsletter.

At the same event Newsweek was honored as the Hottest Re-Launch of the year.

The magazines were selected from a field of more than 800 new magazine launches covering the period of Oct. 2013 until the end of Sept. 2014. There were more than 200 titles in that group that were published with a frequency of four times or higher.

Congratulations to all the winners and looking forward to the crop of 2015.
