The singer with the wild fashion style was a runaway hit for both monthly and biweekly magazines sold on the newsstand, according to WWD.com.
Cosmopolitan magazine's April issue with Gaga on the cover sold 1.7 million copies. Her gun-totin' July 8 Rolling Stone cover translated into newsstand sales of 245,000 copies, nearly three times better than the year's average.
Gaga's Vanity Fair cover in September sold 450,000 copies, the magazine's second-best seller of the year.
Taylor Swift may be hot on iTunes, but she's not so popular on a magazine cover.
The worst seller of the year (through October) for Elle magazine featured Swift on its cover. The teen crooner's November Glamour cover also had disappointing sales. When she was featured on Marie Claire in July, the magazine experienced its third-worst-selling issue through October.
