Amazon Charts: Louis moves up Theroux the non-fiction charts

Louis Theroux's Gotta Get Theroux This (Macmillan) has toppled David Cameron's For the Record (William Collins) at the top of the Amazon Charts Most Sold: Non-Fiction chart, with the documentary maker's memoir notching up more listeners on Audible than readers on Kindle. It was joined by chart stalwarts Jamie Oliver's Veg (Penguin) and Adam Kay's This is Going to Hurt (Picador) in the top three, with the former Prime Minister's autobiography falling to fourth place.

'Tis the season for celebrity memoirs, and Gotta Get Theroux This was joined by Billy Connolly's Made in Scotland (BBC), Demi Moore's Inside Out (Fourth Estate) and "Queer Eye" star Jonathan Van Ness' Over the Top (S&S) in the Most-Sold top 20.

Theroux's title also vaulted upwards seven places in the Most-Read: Non-Fiction charts, but nothing can defeat evergreen number one Michelle Obama's Becoming (Penguin), which reigned for an 11th week running.

Margaret Atwood has just as unbreakable a stronghold on the Most-Sold: Fiction top two, with The Testaments and its predecessor The Handmaid's Tale (both Vintage) once again topping the chart. Jill Mansell's Maybe This Time (Review) also claimed third place for a second week running.

However, Philip Pullman's The Secret Commonwealth (Penguin and David Fickling) made its debut a week ahead of its 3rd October release, charting 16th on pre-orders alone. Could the sequel to La Belle Sauvage challenge The Testaments for pole position next week?

Atwood's blockbuster title has already sold over 160,000 copies in hardback through Nielsen BookScan's Total Consumer Market, but in the Most-Read: Fiction charts it lost its crown last week, with a resurgent Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Pottermore/Bloomsbury) re-claiming the number one. The original Potter seven, immovable from the Most-Read top 20, are Kindle Unlimited titles, but perhaps the reason the fifth book has emerged as most-read is because of its audiobook length, at nearly 30 hours.

Kindle Unlimited titles performed strongly in Amazon's fiction charts, with four books in the Most-Sold: Fiction top 20 last week. But Prime Reading, a service only available to Prime members offering a limited amount of free books and magazines, is also gaining influence—Sibel Hodge's Their Last Breath (Thomas & Mercer) and Imogen Clark's Where the Story Starts (Lake Union) charted 7th and 17th respectively last week.
