SFFH on General Lists
24 August 2004
The fifth and latest Harry Potter novel by J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, was released in trade paperback on August 10th and debuts this week at the very top of USA Today's list of top 150 bestsellers for the week ending August 15th. The book is also at the top of New York Times's children's paperback list, and on 4 other lists in various countries this week, though not, ironically, Amazon's list of Top 100 Bestsellers when checked today, the book already having ranked there for several weeks selling prepublication orders.
Terry Brooks's High Druid of Shannara: Tanequil (Del Rey) does currently rank on Amazon's Top 100 list, at #21, a week in advance of scheduled publication.
In the UK, Raymond E. Feist's Exile's Return (Voyager) ranks #66 on Amazon UK's list, a week in advance of publication.
David Mitchell's Cloud Atlas (Random House), released in the US August 17th, shows up on Amazon Canada's list today at #73. The novel was first published in the UK by Sceptre in March (and in hardcover).

| This cell color indicates rankings on children's bestsellers lists |
This cell color indicates rankings of books based on pre-publication sales |
[Italics and brackets, and/or this cell color, indicate stale data -- rankings from one or more weeks before -- and do not contribute to the cumulative weeks on any list totals] |
Key:
The table shows the current rank of each book and the change since last week, 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)
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, and BookScan, which combines hardcovers and paperbacks within lists for fiction, nonfiction, and children's. Dates shown are posted dates, except those in parentheses, which are dates compiled. New York Times posts its list one week in advance of print publication.
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.
