I don't think that's the case in the UK.

For instance, New Scientist has a cover date of Saturday.  I received the
latest issue yesterday,  The cover date is the 15th.  It will still be on
display in news agents for most of next week.

I've heard American visitors asking why old magazines are still on
display.  I remember when I started reading Analog back in the late
sixties, early seventies, before I subscribed.  Railway station
bookstalls were a good place to find it.  On one occasion, as I was
paying at the counter the assistant said they'd actually got it in early
this month.  What she meant was that the month on the cover was actually
the current month on the calendar.
