history
The magazine first appeared in the UK in 1985 under the name For Him and changed the name to FHM in 1994.
The first German edition was published in October 2000 by Attic Futura Verlag GmbH . 2005 took over Egmont Holding GmbH of Attic Futura whose magazine business and the PRT, so the magazine holding subsidiary Egmont henceforth in Germany by the wholly owned Egmont Cultfish Media GmbH was transferred expected in 2009 mid editions GmbH renamed. The German-language version appeared in German-speaking countries with a monthly circulation of 129,120 copies (as of 2009). After the German Egmont Holding decided to close its publishing subsidiary Mitte Editions and thereby discontinue the FHM including its offshoots FHM Collections and L'Officiel Hommes , the last edition appeared on December 9, 2010 under editor-in-chief Christian Kallenberg. The French publisher Les Éditions Jalou, as the licensor, was still interested in publishing the magazine in Germany and so the rights were given in January 2011 to the publisher All Type Media GmbH , which was founded especially for this by Peter Blaschek and Markus Boden. The first edition appeared on February 17, 2011 under the new leadership of Managing Director Markus Boden, who also acted as editor-in-chief. The magazine was discontinued in autumn 2012 and replaced by Like magazine in December of the same year . After eight issues, the Like magazine was also discontinued as a print version and continued as an e-paper .
FHM 100 Sexiest Women in the World
Every year the men's magazine chooses the 100 Sexiest Women in the World in many countries around the world . In 1995, readers of the UK edition of the FHM were invited to cast their votes for the women of their choice for the first time. From 1998 a separate election was held in Australia . Singapore , South Africa and the United States followed in 2000 . Germany , the Netherlands and Romania followed in 2001 . Later Russia , France , the Philippines , Thailand , Hungary and Spain were added, so that the election reached almost all regions of the world (except South America). Voter turnout is by far the highest in Great Britain and the USA, as this is where the circulation of the magazine is highest.
A separate list of the 100 Sexiest Women is determined for each national edition . Until 2004, however, all votes from all national editions were added together to determine the global overall winner. The woman who received the most votes was then automatically placed first in all national editions. It made no difference whether it actually got the most votes in the respective national edition. This procedure was abolished in 2005 so that readers of each national edition could choose their own favorite. Eva Padberg won in Germany , Paris Hilton in France and Angelina Jolie in the United States . It also had the most votes in the world overall.
The electoral process is different in almost every country. In Germany you can enter the names of your ten favorites online in ten fields one above the other. The top woman is then awarded ten points, the second nine points, down to the bottom woman who receives one point. It is up to everyone which and how many of the fields to fill out. In some other countries, the choices are limited because women have to be chosen from a given list. Some national editions even require you to register before voting. This is to prevent multiple votes. These are the five best placed in the German-speaking vote from 2001 to 2012. Until 2004, as already mentioned, the first place was determined by adding up all votes worldwide:
