This time last year, booksellers were bemoaning the end of Harry Potter. That series, which ended in 2007, sold 19 million copies that year, and it didn’t seem as though anything would be replacing it anytime soon.
How quickly things change.
Last year, as the final volume in Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight series pubbed (six million copies sold) and the Twilight movie was released (domestic box office: $191 million), Little, Brown sold 27.5 million copies of her four vampire novels—with her adult novel The Host added in, that’s 28.7 million Stephenie Meyer novels sold last year. A new queen has been crowned.
Sales for other blockbuster series also proved strong: the third volume in Christopher Paolini’s Inheritance Cycle, Brisingr, sold 2.6 million copies (the series sold 3.2 million in total last year); two frontlist Wimpy Kid books sold a combined 1.8 million (three million total for the series in 2008); and Rick Riordan’s latest Percy Jackson installment sold a million copies (2.2 million for the series). Other series still doing well: Fancy Nancy, Warriors, Artemis Fowl and Maximum Ride. And though it wasn’t a new Potter title per se, J.K. Rowling’s collection of Beedle the Bard tales sold 3.5 million copies.
One perennial kid-favorite that shows no sign of slowing down is the Magic Tree House series (635,000 hardcovers sold, plus 4.2 million—mostly backlist—paperbacks). And in more good news for Random House, parents can’t get enough of Dr. Seuss: just over five million copies of his books sold in 2008—all (obviously) backlist.
Last summer belonged to The Clique, with the publication of five Summer Collection titles, which sold a total of 1.4 million copies (along with another 1.4 million regular Clique titles).
Media stars like the Jonas Brothers, Paula Deen and Hannah Montana all had books by or about them turn into bestsellers. Movie versions of The Tale of Despereaux, Prince Caspian, Inkheart, City of Ember and Marley & Me sent books for those properties soaring up the charts. And some newcomers made a splash too, including The 39 Clues series and Rufus Butler Seder’s two Scanimation books, Gallop! and Swing!
