MICHAEL MOSLEY CLAIMS HIS NINTH OVERALL NUMBER ONE
in January 2019.
The nutritionist claimed the Paperback Non-fiction top spot for a fiſth straight week, and he now has 33 number ones in that chart, level with early-Noughties diet guru Robert Atkins (remem- ber when all the celebs were doing the Atkins? Good times). At an impressive 70 weeks, Joe Wicks is the only other diet and fitness author with more Paperback
Non-fiction number ones. But it certainly was a good week at chez Mosley, worthy of a toast (providing it is not a fasting day) as his wife Dr Clare Bailey and Justine Patinson’s The Fast 800 Easy returned to the Top 50, hiting 38th place. The Mosley (£6.8m) and Bailey (£6.7m) household has earned a combined £13.5m through Nielsen BookScan’s Total Consumer Market since they were first published in 2015. No shade on
Octopus, of course, as outside of
