SFFH on Bestseller Lists
21 April 2002
Stephen King's Everything's Eventual reigns in the US, ranking in the top 10 of every list but one in the table below. In the UK, David Gemmell's Stormrider ranks #7 on both lists.
The table here is slimmed considerably this week as several Rowling and Tolkien titles that have not placed on any list for 2 weeks or more have been removed. Harry Potter hardcovers Secrets and Stone, which have been in these weekly tables as long as they've have been compiled (since January 2000), finally slipped off even the NYT's children's chapter book list three weeks ago. (They're still selling well in paperback.) Among the numerous Tolkien editions, only the four-volume Hobbit+trilogy sets, in trade and mass market paperback, still rank anywhere, and those only on Amazon.
Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 lasted only one week on LAT paperback list.

| This cell color indicates rankings on children's bestsellers lists |
Italics indicates stale data -- rankings from one or more weeks before |
The table compiles SFFH books placing on general bestseller lists. The table shows the current rank of each book and the change since last week are shown, where:
= same as last week
+ or - with number: difference since last week
+ back on list
++ new on list
x no longer on list (number of x's: weeks off list)
Columns show ranks on lists from, respectively, New York Times, Los Angeles Times, San Francisco Chronicle, USA Today, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, London Times, Publishers Weekly, BookSense, Amazon.com (fiction lists), and Amazon UK (fiction lists). All lists rank hardcovers and paperbacks separately, except for the USA Today list, which is a single list combining fiction and nonfiction in all formats.
Note that some sources do not compile paperback bestsellers, and some exclude YA books (like the Harry Potter series) from their hardcover and paperback fiction lists.
