The top 10 free newspapers (full 2009 circulation data) are:

1. Metro (UK): 1,334,000
2. Beijing Daily Messenger: 1,000,000*
3. Leggo (Italy): 963,000
4. City (Italy): 779,000
5. Headline Daily Hong Kong: 740,000
6. Metro Canada: 733,000
7. 20 Minutes France: 710,000
8. 20 Minuten Swiss: 701,000
9. Metro Korea: 700,000
10. 20 Minutos Spain: 687,000

* I have serious doubts about the reliability of the circulation of the Beijing Daily Messenger, my sources state the one million circulation, but others claim that it is 250,000 or even 180,000 to 200,000.

In that case the France Direct-Plus Group with 650,000 copies in 2009 is the 10th.
