N PREVIOUS YEARS, a single tower- ing bestseller—E L James’ Grey, Paula Hawkins’ The Girl on the
Train, J K Rowling, Jack Thorne and John Tiffany’s Harry Potter and the Cursed Child—has dominated the Nielsen BookScan international land- scape to such an extent that almost every territory has crowned them the number one. But 2017 was a strangely lacklustre year for runaway best- sellers. In the UK, the print market endured its longest streak on record of weekly number ones selling fewer than 20,000 copies (11), and big- brand hardback releases such as Dan Brown’s Origin and James’ Darker fell short of their glory days, with the later shiſting 300,000 copies fewer than its predeces- sor, Grey, did in its first week on sale. As a result, every Book- Scan territory has returned a different number one for the 52-week period
