Unless you live in Mars, you would have seen Kim Kardashian-West's racy cover for GQ's 10th annual "Love, Sex & Madness" issue. The magazine hosted Kim Kardashian and her friends to a cocktail party in Los Angeles on Tuesday. 

When asked about the success of Kardashian's cover, GQ's Editor in Chief, Jim Nelson replied that he didn't know yet. He however added  “I do know this — it already broke the Internet. We’ll have had the highest month of traffic ever. We broke one record the first day. We broke another record the second day. The third day, we thought it might slow down and so we pulled back a little bit on tech support and our site actually broke for like 20 minutes…which is not something you want to have happen, trust me, but it literally broke the Internet, so we’re thrilled about that.” Nelson further revealed that they “encouraged engagement” by rolling out one photo at a time on their web site in order to create “a sense of drama about it.”
