Nearly two weeks after the premiere of the Fifty Shades of Grey film, books in E.L. James’s series continue to dominate Apple’s chart. For the week ended February 23, the first and eponymous book in the series hit #1, with the second book, Fifty Shades Freed, coming in at #2. The trilogy bundle sat at #4, and the final book in the series, Fifty Shades Freed, landed at #5.
Paula Hawkins's The Girl on the Train was the only non-Fifty Shades title to break the top five, dropping one spot from last week to #3. Kody Keplinger’s The Duff, which was adapted into a film released February 20, sent the 2010 book to the #8 spot.
