By the way, I'm saladesu, one of the translators and global moderators of MH, and I'll be posting a post like this every day (as much as possible, anyway). Look forward to them ;)
J-Magazine Releases Manga Magazine Circulation Data for 2011 First Quarter 
"Weekly Shounen Jump", "Young Magazine", "Ciao" and "YOU" are best-selling manga magazines for respective genres. J-Magazine has released circulation data for all manga magazines in the first quarter of 2011, and unsurprisingly, Shueisha's powerhouse shounen magazine, "Weekly Shounen Jump" (One Piece, Naruto and others), is still the best selling manga magazine, with a circulation of 2,964,546 copies, an increase from it's 2010 overall circulation of 2,876,459 copies. Kodansha takes the best-selling seinen magazine, however, with "Young Magazine" (Initial D, Kaiji and others) with a circulation of 739,584 copies, albeit registering a drop from last year's circulation of 807,871 copies.
The best-selling shoujo magazine is Shogakukan's "Ciao", with a circulation of 680,000 copies, also a decrease from last year's 745,455 copies. Meanwhile, josei manga had the overall lowest circulations among the four demographics, with the highest being just 145,000 copies by Shueisha's "YOU" magazine, and even this is a decrease from last year's 162,917 copies. On the whole, sales of magazines have been on the decline, perhaps heralding the extinction of the medium in favor of webcomics or e-magazines that can be read from portable devices such as iPhones.
