Lindsay Lohan still has drawing power.

Especially when she’s naked.

The actress’ much-hyped Playboy magazine sold 55% more advertising pages than the same issue a year ago, according to one industry information service.

In fact, with over 49 ad pages, Lohan is Playboy‘s second-most sponsored celebrity cover model in recent years, behind only Kim Kardashian, whose December 2007 cover sold nearly 57 pages.

For comparison’s sake, Tara Reid sold 33.4 advertising pages in January/February 2010, with Heidi Montag (31.2 in September 2009) and Mariah Carey (29.4 in March 2007) faring similarly.

(It should be noted, however, that not all celebrities who appear on the magazine’s cover actually appear naked in its pages.)

As Gossip Cop reported last weekend, Playboy founder Hugh Hefner said Lohan’s issue was “breaking sales records.”

The success comes even after the photos comprising Lohan’s layout were leaked online in the days before the issue hit newsstands.

It still remains to be seen how well the Lohan issue performs when all is said and done.
