<P> The press was changed by the introduction of halfpenny papers . The first national halfpenny paper was the Daily Mail (followed by the Daily Express and the Daily Mirror), which became the first weekday paper to sell one million copies around 1911 . Circulation continued to increase, reaching a peak in the mid-1950s; sales of the News of the World reached a peak of more than eight million in 1950 . Since the 1950s, there has been a gradual decline in newspaper sales . The availability of multimedia news platforms has accelerated this decline in the 21st century, and by the close of 2014, no UK newspaper had a daily circulation exceeding two million . The overall circulation of newspapers declined by 6.6% in 2014--15 . </P> <P> Figures shown are average circulations for January of each year . Regardless of immediate source, all figures originate from the Audit Bureau of Circulations . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Title </Th> <Th> 2017 </Th> <Th> 2016 </Th> <Th> 2015 </Th> <Th> 2014 </Th> <Th> 2013 </Th> <Th> 2012 </Th> <Th> 2011 </Th> <Th> </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> The Sun </Td> <Td> 1666715! 1,666,715 </Td> <Td> 1787096! 1,787,096 </Td> <Td> 1978702! 1,978,702 </Td> <Td> 2213659! 2,213,659 </Td> <Td> 2409811! 2,409,811 </Td> <Td> 2582301! 2,582,301 </Td> <Td> 3001822! 3,001,822 </Td> <Td> 3006565! 3,006,565 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Daily Mail </Td> <Td> 1511357! 1,511,357 </Td> <Td> 1589471! 1,589,471 </Td> <Td> 1688727! 1,688,727 </Td> <Td> 1780565! 1,780,565 </Td> <Td> 1863151! 1,863,151 </Td> <Td> 1945496! 1,945,496 </Td> <Td> 2136568! 2,136,568 </Td> <Td> 2120347! 2,120,347 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Metro </Td> <Td> 1476956! 1,476,956 </Td> <Td> 1348033! 1,348,033 </Td> <Td> 0!? </Td> <Td> 1362893! 1,362,893 </Td> <Td> 0!? </Td> <Td> 0!? </Td> <Td> 0!? </Td> <Td> 0!? </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Evening Standard </Td> <Td> 0887253! 887,253 </Td> <Td> 0898407! 898,407 </Td> <Td> 0877532! 877,532 </Td> <Td> 0805309! 805,309 </Td> <Td> 0695645! 695,645 </Td> <Td> 0699368! 699,368 </Td> <Td> 0704008! 704,008 </Td> <Td> 0601960! 601,960 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Daily Mirror </Td> <Td> 0724888! 724,888 </Td> <Td> 0809147! 809,147 </Td> <Td> 0922235! 922,235 </Td> <Td> 0992256! 992,256 </Td> <Td> 1058488! 1,058,488 </Td> <Td> 1102810! 1,102,810 </Td> <Td> 1194097! 1,194,097 </Td> <Td> 1218425! 1,218,425 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Daily Telegraph </Td> <Td> 0472258! 472,258 </Td> <Td> 0472033! 472,033 </Td> <Td> 0494675! 494,675 </Td> <Td> 0544546! 544,546 </Td> <Td> 0555817! 555,817 </Td> <Td> 0578774! 578,774 </Td> <Td> 0651184! 651,184 </Td> <Td> 0691128! 691,128 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> The Times </Td> <Td> 0451261! 451,261 </Td> <Td> 0404155! 404,155 </Td> <Td> 0396621! 396,621 </Td> <Td> 0384304! 384,304 </Td> <Td> 0399339! 399,339 </Td> <Td> 0397549! 397,549 </Td> <Td> 0457250! 457,250 </Td> <Td> 0508250! 508,250 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Daily Star </Td> <Td> 0443452! 443,452 </Td> <Td> 0470369! 470,369 </Td> <Td> 0425246! 425,246 </Td> <Td> 0489067! 489,067 </Td> <Td> 0535957! 535,957 </Td> <Td> 0617082! 617,082 </Td> <Td> 0734311! 734,311 </Td> <Td> 0779376! 779,376 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Daily Express </Td> <Td> 0392526! 392,526 </Td> <Td> 0408700! 408,700 </Td> <Td> 0457914! 457,914 </Td> <Td> 0500473! 500,473 </Td> <Td> 0529648! 529,648 </Td> <Td> 0577543! 577,543 </Td> <Td> 0639875! 639,875 </Td> <Td> 0674640! 674,640 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> i </Td> <Td> 0266768! 266,768 </Td> <Td> 0271859! 271,859 </Td> <Td> 0280351! 280,351 </Td> <Td> 0298266! 298,266 </Td> <Td> 0293946! 293,946 </Td> <Td> 0264432! 264,432 </Td> <Td> 0133472! 133,472 </Td> <Td> 0!
