Increasingly, it seems, a brand name. With the 2006 totals in, the 2006 bestsellers are dominated by previous bestselling authors, including For One More Day by Mitch Albom with 2.7 million sold since 09/06.

Fiction Bestsellers Go to “Brand Names”

There’s no room for breakthroughs in 2006, as the top 30 fiction sellers of 2006 indicate return visits from previous stars. Some authors make multiple returns in 2006, including prolific James Patterson who often works with co-authors to increase volume of releases each year.

James Patterson Multiple Hits

Patterson lands at number 2 solo for Cross with 1.3 million sold since November of 06—two months of sales! The Cross franchise is an old one and his favorite sleuth almost always ends up on the bestseller lists. Co-authored books by Patterson land at 9th for BeachRoad (with Peter de Jonge) at 824,000 sold, 10th with The 5th Horseman (with Maxine Paetro) at 752,000.

Stephen King and Koontz go Multiple

King’s critically praised Lisey’s Story at 1.2 million and Cell at 1 million landed at 6th and 8th spots for the year overall. Koontz, a contemporary of King in similar “genre” hit 15th for Brother Odd at 650,000 sold and 21st for The Husband with 430,000.

Non Fiction Goes to Fiction

The number one non fiction bestseller went to bestselling fiction author John Grisham with The Innocent Man selling a gigantic 2.2 million rounded. A perennial runaway favorite at number 2 was You: On a Diet—The Owner’s Manual for Waist Management by Dr. Roizen and Dr. Oz with 1.3 million sold. Everyone’s favorite seemed to be Marley & Me.

Food, health and faith, with a dash of memoir, dominated the non fiction lists.

Predicting Trends

“It is impossible to predict trends,” said publisher Armstrong of Kunati Books, a publisher who focuses on breaking in newer author and non-formula books. “When we see return visits as in 2006, the prevailing wisdom is weakness in the retail market.” The market was some what soft in 06. “We tend to nurture provocative themes rather than brand names. We think that’s where 2007 is headed.” ]]>http://www.filmsandbooks.com/fiction-and-non-fiction-bestse/rss-comments-entry-994412.xmlBestsellers 2006 — The Numbers Are In!Films and Books MagazineWed, 04 Apr 2007 12:10:00 +0000http://www.filmsandbooks.com/fiction-and-non-fiction-bestse/2007/4/4/994411.html96911:853854:994411The Innocent Mansm.jpgWhat’s It Take to Go Bestseller?
