New York Times Bestseller List

The New York Times Bestseller List ranks the most popular books each week based on sales data compiled from various bookstores and online retailers across the U.S. It serves as a key indicator of a book's popularity and cultural impact. The list includes different categories like fiction, nonfiction, children's books, and more, often influencing book sales and public visibility. While the rankings are based on sales volume, they are also influenced by factors such as distribution and reporting practices, making the list a respected, though not purely objective, measure of a book’s success.
