Just nine days into December and the “Best of 2010? lists are already piling up like early snow. The latest, Apple’s iTunes Rewind, highlights the store’s most popular content of the year and, while its lists of music and movies are certainly worth a look, its breakdown of popular iOS apps is most interesting.

Magazine publishers took a particularly brutal beating during the last ad recession, so they have a very long way to go if they’re going to climb back. Still, this is a start: Ad pages increased 3.6 percent in the last three months, and that’s the second consecutive quarter of growth, according to the industry trade group that used to call itself the
Magazine Publishers of America. Worth noting that Condé Nast’s Wired, which may have the most successful iPad magazine app, saw ad pages jump
32.8 percent.
