That’s AMAZING

imagine if she had an album attached to this! She could’ve been doing numbers like she did in the early 2000s

[vale9001]

 400k already sold, even if very frontloaded maybe It's a huge number.

Thank you to Britney’s second fan base for keeping us updated on her book sales! 
 

OT: 400k in one day is HUGE! I wonder how much the OP’s fave would sell in a day if she released a memoir. 

She would probably upload it to Wattpad for free.

 

OP: queen she's coming for that Nobel prize 

[Capris Groove]

Stephen Kingney did that.

Yep: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grammy_Award_for_Best_Audio_Book,_Narration_%26_Storytelling_Recording

I hope she gets nominated for that, she did a phenomenal job narrating this book 

[ImpressMeMuch]

TMZ is obviously going to lowball the sales numbers with their 20 year bias

Jessica Simpson did that and made zero noise with it while her book was also a best seller.

That’s absolutely massive  

 

She would probably sell the same amount of albums first week with a proper comeback and personal music

 

People are hungry for her new music  

thats what they said about her song with william

She did?

I see her book was released in 2020 and she hasn't had an album since 2010

 

 

 

[lovemehateme]

I neeed the publisher to say something because all these numbers are confusing as hell.

 

Either way, it's a smash. 

[Rev8]

So I read about the Jessica Simpson book (2020):

 

Quote

"..it had the most sales for a book by a female celebrity in the history of BookScan."

 

-She also made - No. 1 New York Times Bestseller for two weeks

 

-Her debut sales were: 59k

 

 

+

Quote

The memoir sold more than 500,000 copies in its first 14 weeks.

 

It was seen as a huge success and even got adapted into a TV series.

 

 

 

 

 

That gives an idea of how successful Britney's book gets even 400k first day

[slw84]

love this for the legend

 

[Abracadabra]

I haven't listened to the audiobook yet (I seem to be in the minority that prefers actually reading it most of the time), but I definitely will be listening at some point as it seems that Michelle did a wonderful job.

[americanshameless]

Someone really said 400K in a day is cute numbers

[Digitalism]

This is great

But the Army needs to stop saying that an album would pull this. numbers. You're setting her up. Even if she does 200k with an album which is a great number for her she would look bad in comparison. Just stop

Michelle is fantastic, to the point I'm okay with Britney not even reading it herself.  She's that good.

 

OT:  I just finished the audiobook -- my hardcopy just arrived -- and her strength is truly amazing.  I'm wishing her nothing but the best, always.

(ebooks aren't counted, but they take like 18% of all book types sold)

 

 

 

So if TMZ is right, she is already in the Top 20 (from 2001-2013 at least, lol) and if this source is good enough..

since I've read everywhere that memoirs usually dont continue to sell well some time after release, and some of these (bar Obama) shouldn't have any huge bump

So she contributed $9 million to the economy with 1 day of sales? Insane

 

Music, dancer and author - truly a triple threat

I was wondering since it gave it in pounds (and now I notice lots of UK acts)

my fault.

[bjorn]

Omg the fact she was OFFERED the role of Chicago (Renee Zellweger and Catherine Zeta Jones) and she says she regrets not taking that role….

 

WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN

still interesting to see

 

Untill we get offical numbers i think Amazon best selling of 2023 is the best metric we can use. It's already 14, lets see where it goes to tomorrow!
