Digital Bestseller Lists: Kay's memoir returns to the chart

Harlan Coben’s Win (Random House) scored the Bookstat number one for a second week running, reigning atop the e-book chart for the week ending 19th February. Marian Keyes’ Again, Rachel (Penguin) was the highest new entry in the chart, leapfrogging Sarah J Maas’ House of Sky and Breath (Bloomsbury), in a reversal of the titles’ fortunes in the print chart. Cathy Glass’ Neglected (HarperCollins) also claimed eighth place—the non-fiction author last appeared in the Bookstat chart in September 2021 with An Innocent Baby.  

J D Robb’s Abandoned in Death (Piatkus) debuted atop the Publisher E-Book Ranking for the week ending 12th February, with Adele Parks’ Both of You (HQ) returning to the chart in second place. Its HarperCollins stablemate, Karin Slaughter’s False Witness, sought out third place. 

Adam Kay’s This is Going to Hurt (Picador) returned to the publisher chart, as the BBC television adaptation launched. While the paperback has notched up more than a year of Paperback Non-Fiction number ones through Nielsen BookScan’s TCM, the e-book edition is even more of a behemoth, notching up the most amount of number ones for any title in the Publisher E-Book Ranking’s history—even more impressive given the scarce amount of non-fiction titles to even feature in the chart.  

Clarification: Hachette has stated that The Ship of Brides sold 6,090 digital copies, and Magpie Murders 5,421.
