Tap to Tidy swipes a second week at the top

Stacey Solomon's Tap to Tidy (Ebury) has held the UK Official Top 50 number one spot for a second week running. Once again, Nielsen BookScan was unable to report volume or value sales data, as the UK is under lockdown restrictions. However Penguin Random House said it had sold 29,500 copies of Solomon's book, dropping down from 104,000 copies in publication week.

Matt Haig's The Midnight Library (Canongate) and Charlie Mackesy's The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse (Ebury) rose into second and third place respectively in the Top 50. The Midnight Library held the Mass Market Fiction number one for a fourth week, while The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse has barely left the Hardback Non-Fiction top three since publication in October 2019.

Richard Osman's The Thursday Murder Club (Viking) leapfrogged Kazuo Ishiguro's Klara and the Sun (Faber) to return to the Original Fiction number one spot.

Michelle Obama's Becoming (Penguin) held the Paperback Non-Fiction top spot, with Nicole LePera's How to Do the Work (Orion Spring) debuting in second place.

Easter books dominated the Pre-School charts, with Martha Mumford and Sarah Jennings' Five Easter Bunnies (Bloomsbury Children's), The Easter Egg Hunt (Igloo) and Peppa Loves Easter (Ladybird) rubbing shoulders with the World Book Day 2021 tranche. The adult charts weren't immune to the "egg-stravaganza", with The Cadbury Mini Eggs Cookbook (HarperCollins) hitting the Hardback Non-Fiction.
