Just Seventeen had become a weekly publication by early 1986. It quickly became the UK's market-leading teen-girl magazine[2] until the launch of Sugar in 1994, after which sales began to fall. In 1997, the magazine was changed to a monthly format in response to declining circulation,[3] and the magazine was finally closed in 2004,[4] after losing a third of its readership.[5]
