Religion and lawyers drive sales in Brazil, controversy reigns at the top of the charts in Italy, Chetan Bhagat defies the critics to claim another number one in India, while OUP rules in the Rainbow Nation. Tom Tivnan breaks down the BookScan data for four key international territories
A
look at the Brazilian bestseller charts (below right) for the first 10 weeks
of 2015 makes one think: “there must be a lot of lawyers in Brazil”. The third-bestselling book is Vade Mecum 2015 (Saraiva), the weighty annual update of Brazilian law that is a must for all law practitioners. Its hefty average selling price of R$84.05 (around £19) is almost twice that of any other book in Nielsen BookScan Brazil’s Top 100. Brazilian lawyers, law students and those who love them have spent an impressive $R5.7m (£1.3m) on eight different Saraiva Vade Mecum editions in 2015. Brazil’s rapidly growing
Evangelical Christian movement is evidenced by 2015’s runaway bestseller, the third memoir and collection of religious musings by Edir Macedo, Nada a Perder (Planeta). Macedo is a banker and media mogul—he owns Brazil’s second-biggest television network, Rede Record—and has a net worth of around $US1.1bn, estimates Forbes. In 1977,
Macedo founded the Pentecostal
Universal Church of the Kingdom of God in Rio, which now has around 12 million members worldwide (roughly nine million of that number reside in Brazil). His previous two memoirs have also topped the Brazilian charts. The children’s sector, particularly
Young Adult, is very strong in Brazil. In the full-year 2014 Brazilian BookScan charts, John Green was responsible for five titles in the overall top 20. In 2015, Green’s
compatriot Gayle Forman has started strongly, with two books in the top 10: Se Eu Ficar and Para Onde Ela Foi (If I Stay and Where She Went, respectively, both Novo Cencelto). Meanwhile, another American YA heavyweight, Veronica Roth, has four books in the top 30, while Green himself has six titles in this year’s top 100.
