Fiction (p42) and Non-Fiction (p43) charts in full
number one, Raynor Winn’s The Salt Path. The standard edition of Winn’s memoir, first published in 2019, has seen sales drop 35.4% – just behind the full PBNF Top 20, which has seen a reduction in volume of 33.2% this week. The film tie-in of The Salt Path
has also seen sales slip, but not as precipitously, and it manages to rise to second place. The two editions have sold a combined total of 9,244 copies – a 24.8% drop on the previous week, but that would have been enough to keep it in first place. The second biggest new release of the week is Lauryn Hamilton Murray’s Heir of Storms – it takes third place in the TCM and tops the Children’s chart with 12,847 copies sold, thanks to a slot in FairyLoot’s Young Adult box. Unsurprisingly, last week’s number one – Bluey: My Dad Is Awesome has dropped out of the Children’s Top 20 altogether. Just making it into the overall
Top Five is this week’s biggest Non-Fiction title – Bear Grylls’ The Greatest Story Ever Told,
BookScan TCM volume 2,822,961 -14.4% week on week BookScan TCM value (£) 26,995,853 -14.5% week on week
a non-fiction “eyewitness account” of the life of Jesus and somewhat of a departure from Grylls’ previous offerings. With sales of 8,691 copies in its first week on sale, it takes fifth place in the TCM, pushing Bob Mortimer’s The Hotel Avocado into sixth place. That number is around 5,000 more than last week’s Hardback Non-Fiction (HBNF) number one – Mel Robbins’ The Let Them Theory has seen sales fall 45% to 3,842 copies. Though that is still enough to keep it in second place, just ahead of Caroline Hirons’ Teen Skincare, which appears in its first week with 3,312 copies sold.
Grylls and Hirons lead the way in the HBNF chart in a week that sees 10 new releases. Despite that heavy publication schedule and a large haul from Grylls, sales of the Top 20 have fallen 91.4% this week as the market resets following Father’s Day.
The Original Fiction chart sees a raft of launches as well, with three new titles appearing in the Top Five. These are led by Karin Slaughter’s We Are All Guilty Here, which has sold 4,259 copies in its first three days on sale – a slight increase of 0.9% compared with 2024’s This Is Why We Lied – and just ahead of Rob Rinder’s The Protest, which has shed just under 200 readers versus 2024’s The Suspect. In total, it was a bad week for the
TCM this week – compared with the previous week, volume has dropped 14.4% to 2.8 million books and value has seen a decline of 14.5% to £27m. Compared with the same week in 2024, volume has fallen 9.7%, with value performing slightly better, down 7.7%.
