      “Due to adminstrative error and one miscategorization”
      Now that’s funny.
      I’m going to have to remember to use “miscategorization” as an excuse somehow, somewhere, someday.

      the drop-off is kind of astounding on the lists, like from Lost Symbol (5,500,000+) to the third place book with like 4,000,000 fewer books sold.

      The best-selling album of 2009 was Taylor Swift’s “Fearless.” It sold 6 million. The best-selling album of 2008 was Lil Wayne’s “Tha Carter III.” It only sold 4 million. Hmm.

      One factor that contributed to David Benioff’s book selling 300,000 copies was because it was part of Borders “make program” meaning that employees were forced to recommend that book to every single customer, whether they were buying a magazine or a yoga mat, and were threatened with losing their jobs if they didn’t reach a certain quota.
      I’m sure there are others books on there as well that could be attributed to this but I can’t say at the moment since I haven’t thoroughly looked.
