《纽约时报》畅销书榜331本《纽约时报》畅销书榜(TheNewYorkTimesBestSellerList)是美国最具代表性的畅销书排行榜之一,每周在星期日版《纽约时报》随报附送的《纽约时报书评》杂志(TheNewYorkTimesBookReview)刊载,而杂志则同时接受单独订阅。畅销书榜自1942年4月9日开始,一直刊载至今。畅销书排名榜并非由刊载此榜的书评部门制定,而是由纽约时报“新闻调查”(NewsSurverys)部门的编辑负责。榜单上排名是根据全国抽样调查的大小型书店以及批发商所提供的每周销售报告制定而成。由于零售数据比起批发数据更能反映出真实的销售情形,因此时报人员调查不少书店。某些上榜的书本旁边会加上一个剑标型(†)符号,表示一些书店大量订购此书。排名榜的制定方法一直是个商业秘密。根据作家EdwinDiamond在其著作BehindtheTimes指出,自1992年起,时报的调查对象涵盖全国3000多家书店,以及合共多达28000个包括百货公司和超级市场等销售点的批发商。畅销书榜共分为小说及非小说两个类别,各类别分别罗列出排行头10名或头20名的著作,全部排名则上载至书评的网页。由于大量如励志书籍等提供生活意见的书籍进占非小说类榜单,因此自1984年起,有关方面决定另外推出“Advice,How-toandMiscellaneous”“励志•工具及其他书籍排行榜”。小说《哈利•波特》推出后,曾高踞排名榜首位多个星期,惹来出版商投诉。有见及此,时报于2000年7月推出“儿童文学畅销书榜”(Children'sLiterature)。另外,2007年9月23日一期开始,时报把平装(Paperback)小说排行榜分拆成TradeFiction和MassFiction两个项目,根据编辑的解释是:“这样有助读者更留意杂志经常评论的文学小说及短篇故事”。曾研究精装版(Hardcover)小说销路的斯坦福商学院(StanfordBusinessSchool)副教授AlanT.Sorensen指出,大部分购买书本的人都似乎十分看重纽约时报的畅销书榜。因此,对一些缺乏知名度的作家或新作家来说,畅销书榜对他们的著作多少具有宣传效用。相反,对一些如DanielleSteel和约翰•葛里逊等畅销书作家来说,上榜与否对他们小说的销路影响不大。他又指,畅销书榜刊出后对上榜书籍的销售情况影响有限,它未必会使书本卖得更好,但可能会拖慢销路逐渐下降的情形。2013年部分畅销书目录(这里有全部电子版)1.1Q84-HarukiMurakami2.2-DaysofBlood&Starlight3.AChristmasBride4.AChristmasCarol,theChimes&theCric5.ADeeperLoveInside_ThePorscheSantia-Sister6.AGifttoLast7.AHIGHERCALL-AdamMakos8.AHigherCall_AnIncredibleTrueStory-Adam9.ASeasonofAngels10.ASuddenChangeofHeart11.AWEEKINWINTER-MaeveBinchy12.AWildSheepChase13.AWinterDream-RichardPaulEvans14.AbbiGlines-FallenTooFar15.AbbiGlines-NeverTooFar16.AftertheQuakeStories17.AFTERVISITINGFRIENDS-MichaelHainey18.ALEXCROSS,RUN-JamesPatterson19.AllisonBrennan-Reckless20.AMERICATHEBEAUTIFUL-BenC.Carson&Candy21.AmericanGuerrilla-MikeGuardia22.AMERICANSNIPER-ChrisKyle23.AmericanSniper_TheAutobiographyofth-Chris24.AngelsatChristmas25.AngelsattheTable26.ArcticDrift-CliveCussler27.ARGO-AntonioMendez28.Argo_HowtheCIAandHollywoodPulled29.Armageddon30.Assassin-TomCain31.AtlantisFound-CliveCussler32.AyanaMathis-TwelveTribesofHattie,The33.BacktoBlood-TomWolfe34.Bailout_AnInsideAccountofHowWashin-Neil35.BaredtoYou-SylviaDay36.BecomingSisterWives37.BEHINDTHEBEAUTIFULFOREVERS-Katherine38.BehindtheBeautifulForevers_Life,Dea-Katherine39.BenjaminFranklin40.BeyondBelief-JennaMiscavigeHill41.BitterBrew42.BlackWind-CliveCussler43.BlackberryWinter-SarahJio44.BlindWillow,SleepingWoman45.BLOODFIREQUEST-TerryBrooks46.Bossypants-TinaFey47.BREAKINGPOINT-C.J.Box48.CJBox-BreakingPoint49.CALCULATEDINDEATH-J.D.Robb50.Carver-TomCain51.Checkmate52.Cheryl_MyStory-CherylCole53.CityofDarkness54.CityofLight55.CliveCussler&JustinScott-TheStriker56.Collide-GailMcHugh57.COOLIDGE-AmityShlaes58.CrescentDawn-CliveCussler59.CrimesofParis_ATrueStoryofMurder,Theft60.CrySilentTears-JoePeters61.CrystalCove-LisaKleypas62.CultofOsiris63.Cut_TheTrueStoryofanAbandoned,Abu-Cathy64.Cyclops-CliveCussler65.DAMNFEW-RorkeDenver66.DareMe-MeganAbbott67.DarkNights-ChristineFeehan68.DaughterofSmoke&Bone69.DavidBaldacci-JohnPuller02-TheForgotten70.DavidBaldacci-TheInnocent71.DavidCopperfield-CharlesDickens72.DeepSix-CliveCussler73.DeepStorm-LincolnChild74.DEFENDINGJACOB-WilliamLanday75.DemonsandDruids76.DETROIT-CharlieLeDuff77.Dictator-TomCain78.DowntoYou-MLeighton79.Dragon-CliveCussler80.DRIFT-RachelMaddow81.DRINKINGANDTWEETING-BrandiGlanville82.ELJames-FiftyShadesFreed83.ELJames-FiftyShadesofGrey84.ElizabethHaynes-IntoTheDarkestCorner85.EloisaJames-WithThisKiss01-WithThisKiss-Part86.EloisaJames-WithThisKiss02-WithThisKiss-Part87.Elsewhere_AMemoir-RichardRusso88.EmpireofGold89.ExposedtoYou-BethanyKane90.FALLENTOOFAR-AbbiGlines91.FallingAngel-TracyChevalier92.FATEINTERRUPTED2-KaitlynCross93.FiftyShadesDarker-E.L.James94.FiftyShadesFreed-E.L.James95.FiftyShadesofGrey-E.L.James96.FIREFLYLANE-KristinHannah97.FlightBehavior-BarbaraKingsolver98.FloodTide-CliveCussler99.Francona_TheRedSoxYears-Francona,Terry100.FROSTBURNED-PatriciaBriggs101.GameOver102.GeorgeSaunders-TenthofDecember_Stories103.GillianFlynn-GoneGirl(v5)104.GillianFlynn-GoneGirl105.GoingClear-LawrenceWright106.GONEGIRL-GillianFlynn107.GreatestGeneration-TomBrokaw108.Hallucinations-OliverSacks109.HeartheWindSing110.HEAVENISFORREAL-ToddBurpo111.0HeavenIsforReal_ALittleBoy'sAstou-Todd112.Hello,Gorgeous_BecomingBarbraStreisa-WilliamJ.113.HerForbiddenHero114.HereCometheBlackHelicopters115.HermanKoch-TheDinner116.Honor01-HonorStudent117.Honor02-HonorThyTeacher118.Hopeless-Hoover,Colleen119.HotTicket-OliviaCunning120.HousetoLet-CharlesDickens121.Iceberg122.Iced-KarenMarieMoning123.IncaGold-CliveCussler124.9InsideScientology_TheStoryofAmerica-Janet125.,825INTOTHEDARKESTCORNER-Elizabeth126.IntotheDarkestCorner127.IntotheFireAFirsthandAccountofthe128.IronCurtain_TheCrushingofEasternEu-Anne129.IsEveryoneHangingOutWithoutMe130.JDRobb-CalculatedInDeath131.JLynn-WaitForYou132.JackReacher'sRules-LeeChild133.JamesPatterson-AlexCross,Run134.JessicaSorensen-CoincidenceofCallieandKayden,135.JodiPicoult-TheStoryteller136.JoelCRosenberg-DamascusCountdown137.JohnCorey01-PlumIsland138.JohnCorey02-TheLion'sGame139.JohnCorey03-NightFall140.JohnCorey04-WildFire141
