Kim K And Kanye's Vogue Cover Outsells Beyonce And Michelle Obama's By Selling 500000 Copies

Anna Wintour was blasted for putting Kim Kardashian and Kanye West on the cover of US Vogue but it appears as if her instincts were correct.

For despite outspoken critics, including actress Sarah Michelle Geller, who said they would cancel their Vogue subscriptions over the cover, the issue flew off newsstands and has already sold over 500,00 copies, according to TooFab.
Comparatively, more than 350,000 copies of Beyonce’s edition were snapped up by readers while  First Lady Michelle Obama’s cover sold nearly 300,000.



And with subscriptions, it is believed the total sales could come to over 1.2 million.
However, it should be noted that Kim did her best to up the final sales tally and earlier this month she hit up a Los Angeles newsstand to buy souvenir stacks of the magazine.
She described her first Vogue cover as ‘a dream come true,’and Kim couldn’t hide her joy at her major fashion coup, tweeting last month:’This is such a dream come true!!! Thank you @VogueMagazine for this cover! O M GGGGGG!!! I can’t even breath!’ (sic)
Dress fitting perhaps? Kim jetted to Paris on Tuesday amid rumours she will tie the knot in California imminently ahead of her Paris nuptials
The cover line introduces the piece as: ‘Kim & Kanye Their fashionable life and surreal times. #worldsmosttalkedaboutcouple.’
It is apparently the first time a hashtag was used on the Vogue cover and refers to Kim’s huge social media presence – she has more than 20 million Twitter followers.
The successful sales, so far, come after weeks of critism from Vogue fans, including actress Sarah Michelle Gellar, who tweeted: ‘Well……I guess I’m canceling my Vogue subscription. Who is with me???’
Her boycott was retweeted more than 8,000 times and favorited by more than 11,000 people.
