In 1996, People launched a Spanish-language magazine entitled People en Español. In 2002, People Watch was introduced, focusing on the hit television series Selena. The original issue of the original People magazine was distributed with two distinct covers, one featuring the murdered Tejano singer Selena and the other featuring the hit TV series Friends; the Selena cover sold out while the other sold out the other series. In 2006, it had a circulation of 3. 75 million and revenue expected to top USD 1. 5 billion.
