Marian Keyes' Grown Ups (Penguin) has risen into the UK Official Top 50 number one spot, ending the six-week reign of Kay Featherstone and Kate Allinson's Pinch of Nom Quick & Easy (Bluebird) at the top of the charts. This is Keyes' first overall number one in six years, following May 2015's The Woman Who Stole My Life (Penguin), and her 11th week at the top since 2001. Nielsen BookScan was once again unable to provide volume or value data for the weekly bestseller charts, owing to bookshop closures across the UK during lockdown.

Richard Osman's The Thursday Murder Club (Viking) once again held the Original Fiction number one, as Maggie O'Farrell's Hamnet (Tinder) bounced into the runner-up spot, nearly a year on from release. Daisy Buchanan's Insatiable (Sphere) was the highest new entry in the chart, in 13th place.
Charlie Mackesy's The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse (Ebury) cantered back into the Hardback Non-Fiction number one for its 22nd week in total, as Ching-He Huang's Asian Green (Kyle) and Drew Pritchard's Man with a Van (Ebury) debuted. As temperatures dropped to sub-zero levels across the country last week, Wim "The Iceman" Hof's The Wim Hof Method (Rider) returned to the Hardback Non-Fiction top 20. Hof has broken world records for withstanding extreme temperatures.
Vex King's Good Vibes, Good Life (Hay) chalked up another week as the Paperback Non-Fiction number one and the Small Publishers' number one.
