UK Book Chart: Stevenson Leads, Roberts Tops Official Top 50

Paperback Non-Fiction Bestseller

There’s no relocation on top of the Paperback Non-Fiction chart as Gary Stevenson declared an 11th week at leading with The Trading Video Game (Penguin). It was a close-run point as the gap in between initial and second was fewer than 300 duplicates, with Jonn Elledge’s A Background of the Globe in 47 Boundaries (Heading) climbing 14.9% to 4,155 copies offered.

Hardback Non-Fiction Chart Topper

The Hardback Non-Fiction graph sees a brand-new title on top of the charts with Soph’s Plant Kitchen area (Yellow Kite) from Instagram influencer and personal trainer Sophie Waplington gaining very first week sales of 5,498 copies, just 79 units in advance of second-placed Jamie Oliver’s Easy Air Fryer (Michael Joseph), which itself has actually seen sales jump 19.9% week-on-week.

The Initial Fiction chart sees an avalanche of brand-new launches today with 7 out of the top eight being published in the previous 7 days. At the top of the heap is This Monster of Mine by Shalini Abeysekara (Hodderscape) and Firebird from Juliette Cross (Tor Shrub), both gaining their areas thanks to looks in the most recent FairyLoot subscription boxes.

In total amount, the 10 Easter-themed titles in the Official Top 50 this week have sold a total amount of 57,774 duplicates– a number that’s expanded 12.3% compared to the previous seven days and will assuredly grow once again in the last week before Easter.

Official UK Top 50 Leader

If anyone thought the romantasy pattern of 2024 was going to vanish in 2025, they have actually been confirmed incorrect– again– as today’s leading slot of the Official UK Top 50 is taken by Lauren Roberts’Fearless (Simon & Schuster), according to the latest data from Nielsen Bookscan’s Complete Customer Market.

Mass Market Fiction Highlights

Lee and Andrew Kid go down a place in the general Top 50 to 3rd but retained their top area in the Mass Market Fiction (MMF) graph with In Too Deep (Transworld), in spite of a sales decrease of 29.6% compared to the previous week. Elif Shafak holds onto second place for second week with There Are Rivers overhead (Penguin).

This marks Roberts’ second overall leading– after Negligent (Simon & Schuster Kid’s) asserted the leading area in July 2024. And it is the very first time among Roberts’ titles has had its very first layout in hardback– however that hasn’t place readers off with very first week sales up 13.3% versus the initial week of Negligent released in book last summer.

This weeks’ highest possible brand-new MMF entry belongs to Peter James’ One of United States Is Dead (Frying Pan)– the 20th Roy Elegance thriller– which amused 9,073 individuals in its first week. It’s a blended performance for the Brighton-based investigator because, while sales are up 9.5% compared to the first week of spin-off They Thought I Was Dead, released in November 2024, complete quantity is down 26% when compared to last April’s book, Quit Them Dead.

Anthony Horowitz takes 3rd position– and is the only other Fiction hardback title to show up in the general top 50– with Marble Hall Murders (Century) selling 5,888 duplicates up 74.4% compared with 2024’s Near Death.

Roberts and Collins take the top 2 slots in the Kid’s Top 20 with The Dinosaur that Pooped Easter by Dougie Poyner, Tom Fletcher and illustrator Garry Parsons (Puffin) taking 3rd place, following a 46.1% rise in week-on-week sales.
