Amazon has lots of Top Sellers Lists. The magazine subscription list is
showing Wired magazine as No. 1.

However, when I searched for Oprah magazine, it was shown as No. 1 in the
Product Details section. It is No. 10 in the Top Sellers List.
When I searched for Wired magazine, it was shown as No. 28 in the Product
Details section.
So, .............which is it? If I was a betting person, my money would be
on Oprah. ;)
And why the discrepancy?

Amazon must have a separate ranking for magazine sales.
