National Bestsellers List
Dallas, TX — Bestselling authors, Tony Evans (“For Married Women Only”–Nonfiction) and Vanessa Davis Griggs (“The Truth Is the Light”–Fiction) lead the pack of Black Christian authors on the June 2010 edition of the Black Christian News/Black Christian Book Company National Bestsellers List.
How Black Christian News/Black Christian Book Company calculates the BCNN1/BCBC Bestsellers List: Very simply, BCNN1/BCBC combine the rankings of Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com, and BlackCBC.com for each book. Once BCNN1/BCBC get the combined number, BCNN1/BCBC rank the books according to the lowest number. BCNN1/BCBC have found, down through the years, if a book is truly a bestselling book, it will be a bestselling book across the board, via online stores and in brick-and-mortar stores.
All of the books that BCNN1/BCBC rank, which is a list of over 400 Christian books written by African-Americans, with the exception of a few, are on Amazon.com. Some of these Christian books written by African-Americans are not on, or are not ranked on BarnesandNoble.com, indicating that they are not selling through BarnesandNoble.com. In order to have a fair bestsellers list, BCNN1/BCBC want to encourage all authors and publishers to make sure their books are sold through BarnesandNoble.com, as well as Amazon.com and BlackCBC.com.
The next BCNN1/BCBC Bestsellers List will be published on Thursday, July 1, 2010.
