The tussle for the top


Jojo Moyes and Paula Hawkins’ battle for the number one slot has not been confined to the UK charts. The tussle for the top sees their respective novels battling it out in Italy and Spain too. Kiera O’Brien reports


P


aula Hawkins and Jojo Moyes have been tussling in the UK fiction charts for most of the


summer of 2016, with The Girl on the Train’s 20-week run as the Mass- Market Fiction number one broken only by After You’s three weeks at the top in July. The two authors have also held the Weekly E-Book Ranking number one for 18 weeks between them. Their two-handed skirmish for dominance has spread worldwide, inflamed, no doubt, by the box-office success of film adaptations “Me Before You” and “The Girl on the Train”. Brazil is one of only two Nielsen


territories that doesn’t feature Hawkins’ psychological thriller in its top 20—it is left in the sidings in 26th place. But the Olympics 2016 host nation has embraced Moyes’ love-and-Dignitas duology wholeheartedly, with a total of half a million copies sold between the three editions in the top 10. They hit first, third and ninth place respectively, creating a Moyes sandwich in the top three with Padre Marcelo Rossi, Brazil’s own triple-threat Catholic priest (one of three holy men in the top 50). His Ruah (Principium) sold just 5,000 copies fewer than Moyes’ chart- topping blockbuster. Moyes breaks


into a Brazilian chart mainly filled with homegrown stars; aside from Rossi, 15-year-old celebrity Larissa Manoela hit fourth


place with Diario de Larissa Manoela (HarperCollins Brazil), and YouTuber Authenticgames charts seventh with


Vivendo Uma Vida Authentica (Astra Cutural). As mentioned yesterday, Brazil favours its own YouTubers; there is not a trace of Zoella or Tyler Oakley in the Brazilian top 50, just as no other territory has adopted Authenticgames—despite him having seven million subscribers worldwide. However, Hollywood still demonstrates an international sway, with five film adaptation tie-ins in the top 30. Along with Me Before You, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s The Little

(Editorial Planeta) reigns, shifting over 150,000 copies in hardback. Apart from its British number one, the Spanish chart is full of Spanish authors—aside from the Swiss Joel Dicker, the Japanese Marie Kondo and the American Anthony Doerr. Roberto Santiago’s Futbolissimos series—effectively a Spanish Wimpy Kid—charts three times in the top 50, equalling the feat of Jeff Kinney’s original series, known in the region as Diario de Greg (RBA Libros). 
