Piers Morgan's Wake Up (HarperCollins) has stormed into the Amazon Charts' Most-Sold: Non-Fiction top spot, in the same week the author left his role hosting ITV show "Good Morning Britain", following his much-criticised reaction to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's interview with Oprah Winfrey.
This is not the first time the book charts have seen the effect of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's decision to step down as senior royals—Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand's Finding Freedom (HQ) went to the UK Official Top 50 number one spot through Nielsen BookScan's Total Consumer Market in August 2020.
Barack Obama's A Promised Land (Penguin) held the Most-Read: Non-Fiction number one spot, though Jordan Peterson's Beyond Order (Penguin) rose three places to swipe the runner-up position.
Matt Haig's The Midnight Library (Canongate) claimed the Most-Sold: Fiction top spot once again, with Charlie Mackesy's The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse (Ebury) cantering up into second place. The illustrated title is filed as fiction through Amazon, but it appears in Nielsen's non-fiction charts.
