In March, NPD BookScan underwent a transformation, rebranding itself as Circana Books, following the merger of NPD Group and Information Resources, Inc. (IRI) in 2022. The company diligently gathers weekly point-of-sale data on print books from a vast network of over 16,000 locations, encompassing e-tailers, chains, mass merchandisers, independent bookstores, and more. Circana BookScan effectively covers an impressive 85% of the U.S. trade print book market. The rankings provided by this chart are primarily based on the number of units sold. To ensure accuracy, ICv2 excludes titles that are primarily focused on text or art, thereby refining the rankings for graphic novels.
