Top-selling 150 book titles ranked weekly based
on sales analysis from U.S. booksellers
USA TODAY, part of Gannett Co., Inc. (NYSE: GCI), today
announced the return of its Best-selling Booklist featuring
expanded content, the ability to filter by genre, updated tools to
enable data collection as well as new partnerships that support
independent booksellers across the country in USA TODAY Network
markets.
“USA TODAY Best-selling Booklist is back, and we couldn’t be
more thrilled because this content is important to our vast
audience and uniquely supports the communities we serve,” said
Kristin Roberts, Gannett Media Chief Content Officer. “Readers,
authors, publishers, booksellers and those who cherish books can
experience our data driven best-sellers list again.”
USA TODAY's Best-selling Booklist, a leading force in the market
since 1993, ranks the 150 top-selling book titles weekly based
exclusively on sales analysis from U.S. booksellers including
bookstore chains, independent bookstores, mass merchandisers and
online retailers. Using technology to enhance the user experience
and automation to increase data sources, the rankings are
aggregated from sales data without editorial subjectivity, giving
readers an accurate and inclusive list of what people are reading –
from books for kids to romance, from memoirs to thrillers.
“We are the best reflection of what the nation is reading
because we are the people’s books list,” said Laura Trujillo,
Managing Editor of USA TODAY Life and Entertainment. “USA TODAY
Best-selling Booklist doesn’t editorialize or discriminate by genre
– we are driven by the data.”
USA TODAY has partnered with the American Booksellers
Association (ABA), a national not-for-profit trade organization
that supports the success of independent bookstores as well as
Bookshop.org and The Novel Neighbor to better connect readers with
local businesses in their communities.
“ABA is excited about this partnership with USA TODAY and the
opportunity to spread the word about the value of independent
bookstores to communities and to readers," said Allison K Hill, CEO
of ABA. “USA TODAY’s championing of books and independent
bookstores is thrilling and this new initiative validates our
assertion that The Future is Indie.”
“We're thrilled that USA TODAY supports small businesses and
will be spotlighting local, independent bookstores in the exciting
relaunch of their essential best-seller list,” said Andy Hunter,
Founder and CEO, Bookshop.org. “We share a passionate belief in the
value of books, authors, readers, and bookshops – the community
hubs that foster a vibrant culture of reading all over the United
States.”
“Independent bookstores are special because they aren't just
places where people come to find their next favorite book; they are
places where people come to find and build community,” said Holland
Saltsman, Owner of The Novel Neighbor. “USA TODAY has always helped
tell the story of what's happening all across the country. Now,
we’re writing the next chapter together, amplifying the role that
independent bookstores play within their communities and building
stronger connections between all of us, wherever we live.”
The USA TODAY Best-selling Booklist publishes every Wednesday at
6 a.m. (ET) and the rankings reflect sales from the previous Monday
through Sunday. Readers can expect special bonus content including
an “Independent Bookstore of the Week” and exclusive author
interviews as well as book content from The Novel Neighbor and
“Dear Abby” mystery box articles. Learn more by reading our FAQs
