ECPA Monthly Bestseller Lists to feature longer lists;
expands to Top 50 from Top 25
Effective immediately, the monthly ECPA Christian Bestseller lists, distributed by ECPA and provided by Nielsen Bookscan, will now include more titles. The previous Top 25 list will now be the Top 50 list, and categories for Fiction, Non-Fiction, Juvenile, Bibles, Under $5, and Bible Under $10 will now include the Top 25 titles (rather than the Top 20). The monthly Bible Translation list will stay at the Top 10. “The ECPA monthly bestseller lists continue to represent the most comprehensive and accurate snapshot of Christian book sales,” states ECPA executive director Stan Jantz. “We’re pleased to partner with Nielsen in making this tool even more valuable by deepening the list and featuring more great Christian content.” The ECPA list is pulled from Nielsen Bookscan, representing POS data for industry titles from multi-channel outlets including Amazon, Christian retail, big box, etc.
