rince Harry’s Spare reigns for a fourth month running in the Audible
chart for April. The blockbuster royal memoir showed no signs of slowing down in the run-up to the coronation of the author and narrator’s dad in the first weekend of May. In sharp contrast to the print charts, Spare was the only even vaguely royal-related title in the audio top 20 for April (Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince does not count)—perhaps because, as Nielsen research has shown, the demographic for Audible listeners seems to skew younger than print readers. Having said all
