 The Sun saw its web traffic soar by more than 25% in January, a welcome recovery after it lost audience in the previous month. Its website recorded a 5% month-on-month fall in average daily web browsers in December, despite dropping its paywall fully for the first time on 30 November. News UK chiefs brushed off the decline, blaming it on issues including “certain apps” being turned off in the transition to free access, and a seasonal lull in fantasy football game Dream Team.

1. Mail Online 14,759,451 (+11.96%)
theguardian.com 8,764,814 (+11.69%)
Telegraph 4,611,564 (+14.19%)
Mirror Group Nationals 4,822,666 (+20.74%)
The Independent 3,331,403 (+19.14%)
The Sun 1,909,955 (+25.19%)
Metro 1,418,152 (+26.93%)
Express.co.uk 1,399,663 (+31.38%)
Dailystar.co.uk 901,334 (+51.68%)

2. Mail Online grew by almost 12%, theguardian.com rose 11.70%, Telegraph.co.uk surged by 14.19%, the Mirror jumped by 20.74% and theindependent.co.uk saw browser numbers rise by 19.14%.

3.  dailystar.co.uk saw huge growth of 51.68% month on month in January, albeit from its base as the smallest of the national newspaper websites.

 Newspapers industries have gone up in stats and i believe that this is good because it means that there wont be a decline that was big before. It shows the adapting industries are all coming up and it would mean that The Sun  paywall going only had a small decrease but then went back up after the month and will come up with better ideas to make the percentage of readers.
