Notes:

     Krasznahorkai László's Nobel-win unsurprisingly propelled the reviews of his books at the site onto the bestseller list; otherwise, it was mostly yet again new reviews that got the most attention.
     (Genuine) site traffic has gotten yet more difficult to assess; the raw numbers have seen great leaps in recent months (triple and quadruple the traffic compared to the same periods last year), but most of that is clearly AI bots scraping the site; unfortunately, much of that traffic seems to be getting through the usual analytics flters as well -- witness an enormous rise in traffic from China (alll the same locale ...) and Singapore; much meaningful evaluation does not seem possible at this time (thugh, for example, there has been a great decline any kind of traffic from India).

For recent bestseller lists, go to previous lists.
For annual and older lists, see also the 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, , 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 , 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 lists.
