Fifty Shades of Grey is Uk's best-selling book e'er - according to the publishers at least - but how does information technology compare?
Publisher Cornerstone (part of Random House) announced this week that the erotic novel has sold in excess of 5.3m copies in impress and ebook – more than The Highway Code or Dan Dark-brown's The Da Vinci Code.
The book has remained in the top slot in the United kingdom of great britain and northern ireland bestseller lists for the 16th week running. The 2d and tertiary books, 50 Shades Darker and 50 Shades Freed, are also selling fast, with U.k. sales of 3.6m and iii.2m respectively. Combined Britain sales for the trilogy are in backlog of 12m copies, with rights to the book sold effectually the world and published in languages including Albanian, Chinese, Russian, Serbian and Vietnamese.
Simply is it right? Proving sales beyond platforms independently is very difficult equally at that place are so many outlets. Nielsen Bookscan, which collects the retail sales information from signal of sale systems in more than 31,500 bookshops around the world, does non provide collated sales across eastward-books and physical books, which means we' are reliant on publishers.
And so, bearing that in mind, Nielsen accept given us their acme 100 list of all-fourth dimension U.k. book sales. It shows volumes of each volume, its publisher and genre. So, how does Fifty Shades compare?
It'south not top on this list: that'south got Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code at number one, followed by the Harry Potter novels.
First thing to say is that the Highway Code dominates everything - but because information technology has been around for and then long it artificially jumps near the top of the list with the many versions since 1998 selling over 4.8m copies. So we've removed it from this list although it'due south easy to compare.
But because the Fifty Shades books have only just been published, they are already a powerful force. Fifty Shades itself has sold iii,758,936 copies, with the two follow-ups, L Shades Darker and Fifty Shades Freed selling over two meg copies each. This is how the big series compare:
The list is fascinating in its own correct, even without the dominance of the big writers. Merely for these other top books:
• Elevation children'due south book: The Very Hungry Caterpillar past Eric Carle, with 1,783,535 sales. Julia Donaldson'due south The Gruffalo is right behind with 1,781,269 sales
• Acme cookery volume: Jamie's 30-Infinitesimal Meals, by Jamie Oliver with 1,743,266 sales
• Top non-fiction humour: The World According to Clarkson by Jeremy Clarkson with 1,489,403 sales
The full data is beneath. What can you practise with information technology?
