Prince Harry is no longer king of the best seller lists.
His memoir, “Spare,” dropped in sales royally in week 3 to just 74,495 copies.
The week before was more than twice that number, at 195,720.
“Spare” is no longer number 1 at amazon.com, where it’s number 5 today. At Barnes & Noble, it’s 16.
Total sales are now 900,000 after three weeks. This is far less than publisher PenguinRandomHouse et al hoped for or needed to break even.
Last week’s sales will be reported on Thursday. If the trend keeps up, hitting 1 million will take some time.
These are hardcover sales according to NPD Book Scan They don’t include Kindle, ebooks, audio books. and other formats or international sales. But American book buyers seem to be over the whole Harry business, at least for now.
