Is there a web page that lists bestselling books along with the number of units sold? I know I can go to Barnes & Noble's page to see their top 100 sellers, but they do not show how many units were sold per title. I would like to see this info for all fiction titles nationwide.

Sorry if this was the wrong forum in which to make this post!

Sorry if this was the wrong forum in which to make this post!I don't think there's one national bestseller list. New York Times has one, but so does the Denver Post, San Francisco Chronicle, B&N, Walmart, etc.

Publisher's Marketplace has a number of bestseller lists:

but it is a subscription service. I don't know if you can get to this page without it. Also, I don't think is shows units sold (AFAIK).

You have found it and no, they are not going to list the sales figures. In the first place, for what day would you want them? Do you think they'll take the time to go in and update them daily?

These two pages are is good because they show the top sellers and the how long each title was on the list. They update once a week which is great.

The Bookstandard's page shows "gold" and "platinum" sellers which are 500K and 1 milion sellers respectively.

Yeah, there are many, but it's the New York Times list that's far and away the most important.
