Though if that excludes online views, the NYT may indeed be #1 (quite possibly their paywall will nuke this, however).
The Times of India is the largest circulated English-language daily newspaper in the world, across all formats (Broadsheet, Compact, Berliner and Online)

I always assumed that WSJ appealed only to business and finance types who needed it for work. I'm surprised that the WSJ is that well circulated, does this mean that it has broad appeal? Or is it that the WSJ can be expensed to the a firm, driving up its circulation?
I suspect the popularity of the WSJ is due mainly to the fact that WSJ demographics are more likely to buy a subscription than NYT demographics.
