Fiction (p42) and Non-Fiction (p43) charts in full
with the first week of The Crash in January – although the former has previously been available as a self- published title since 2023. Sitting in 15th place on the over-
all TCM is the bestselling Hardback Non-Fiction (HBNF) of the week: The Best of the Hairy Bikers from Si King and the late Dave Myers. A sort-of greatest hits, it has still managed to sell 9,507 copies in its first week – 85.2% more than second placed Donna Ashworth’s To the Women, which sees volume decline of 20.9% this week. Mel Robbins’ The Let Them
Theory shifted two copies more than it did in the previous seven- day period, but – thanks to the Hairy Bikers – drops to third place. Sarah Wynn-Williams’ Careless
People – a purported exposé of her life at Meta, the company behind social media giant Facebook among others – has made a big splash in the media, after a US emergency arbitra- tor ruled Wynn-Williams could not further distribute or promote the book, saying she could have poten- tially broken her “non-disparage- ment” contract with the company.

(Wynn-Williams made allegations of sexual harassment and other inap- propriate behaviour during her time at the company, which Meta refutes.) At any rate, Pan Macmillan has
vowed it would continue to publish in the UK. Yet, thus far, only 2,832 people were able to obtain a copy, putting it at 10th place in the HBNF chart and 79th in the overall TCM. The Original Fiction chart sees a
new release taking the top slot – the final book in Hannah Kaner’s Fallen Gods trilogy has sold 6,538 copies, meaning Faithbreaker achieves the slimmest first-week sales of all three titles – 7.8% lower than 2024’s Sunbringer – perhaps unsurprising
given the 17.7% RRP hike. Meanwhile, Claire Douglas’ The New Neighbours debuts in third with sales of 4,597 – 66.6% more than 2024’s The Wrong Sister, a stat owing thanks to the paperback edition of the latter which has sold more than 300,000 copies. While new releases top the other
charts, Gary Stevenson refuses to trade places with anyone at the top of the Paperback Non-Fiction chart – The Trading Game takes a seventh consecutive week in the top slot, with just eight fewer copies sold compared with the previous week. The WBD books continue their
takeover of the Children’s Top 20 but Dav Pilkey is holding his own with The Scarlet Shedder, Big Jim Begins and Dog Man bagging the three highest non-WBD slots, despite a combined week-on-week sales decline of 10.8%. In a flip of fortunes from last
week, total volume sales have dropped 10.8% and value has slipped to £29.6m. Year-on-year, volume is down 0.8% with value sales rising 1.3%.
