Readly announces the 2025 category leaders in digital magazine awards

Magazine and newspaper app Readly today announced the winners of its annual ‘Readly Top Title’ awards, which recognises the magazines with the highest readership across each of its 37 categories based on average readership per issue.

Returning for a second year, the initiative demonstrates that digital reading continues to deliver strong results for publishers. Readly’s readership data, which is used in circulation reporting and trusted by agencies and auditing bodies such as ABC, provides a credible foundation for publishers' decision-making and helps publishers strengthen media kits and commercial conversations with advertisers and stakeholders.

The award winners receive the “Readly Top Title” badge, which is featured in media kits and marketing materials, highlighting their achievement in digital magazine readership across the 8,000 digital magazines and newspapers available on the Readly app.

– As the digital media landscape becomes more fragmented and metrics grow noisier, demonstrable attention is now the real currency for publishers. Readly provides verified, human readership within a curated, premium reading environment, with engagement data that goes beyond reach to show how readers interact at issue and article level. By awarding the Readly Top Title badges for the second year running, we’re recognising the magazine brands that consistently earn reader attention and giving publishers robust, actionable evidence of genuine choice and loyalty. These insights play a critical role in reporting, media kits and commercial conversations, says Chloe Rushmere, Head of Content UK at Readly.
