The May figures are out and show the same pattern as has been apparent for the last few years at this point. The Mirror is sitting on the edge of the 30’s and the other two tabloids are heading (albeit slowly) to the 40’s. The Daily Star lost 2,200 in the month, something it can’t afford to do on a monthly basis. Promotions and a few extra multiple copy sales added close to 4,000 to the Daily Mail’s numbers for the month.

Turning to the Sundays: The People is very close to dipping into four digits dropping 4% on the month and 20% over the year. The Sunday Times dropped 1,500 over the month or 2%. It’s a somewhat surprising figure given the publicity they rightly garnered in publishing the Murphy Dail transcripts on the last Sunday of last month (included in their figure here).
