In 1968, Bravo began to be published weekly by Pabel Moewig, a subsidiary of Bauer Verlagsgruppe in Hamburg; the editorial office however remained in Munich. In the 1970s, the magazine sold more than one million copies. By 1996, each issue still sold around 1.4 million issues. Bravo had a circulation of 825,800 copies in 1999. Afterwards the circulation fell steeply.

In 2006, the magazine sold around 460,379 copies. In 2010, the circulation of the magazine was 512,358 copies, making it the best-selling teenager magazine in Europe.
