Theme Forest is the largest marketplace of commercial WordPress themes with more than 2,000 WordPress themes available (at the time of writing 2,043 themes to be exact) from hundreds of different authors. They have theme designs for almost every type of website you can image, from the usual blog, magazine, portfolio and business themes to the more niche application type themes such as church, restaurant, hotel and ecommerce themes.

In this post we list the 10 most popular themes on ThemeForest according to the number of theme sales. It’s interesting to note that all of these top selling themes are either business / corporate / CMS, or photography themes. There isn’t a single magazine or blogging style theme in the top ten, traditionally two very popular styles in the premium WordPress theme marketplace. While this probably reflects the large number of business and creative type themes compared to other theme styles in the ThemeForest marketplace, it’s also a testament to the versatility of the WordPress platform and the wide and varied uses beyond its blogging origin.

As you will see the ten themes below have been purchased by a lot of people! This should mean they are pretty good themes that have been tried, tested and updated to function well. However it probably also indicates some have been around a while, are a bit dated, and might not be the freshest or the best themes available anymore. I will let you decide.
