NPD BookScan grew to turn out to be Circana Books in March 2023, following the merge of NPD Community and Information Sources, Inc. (IRI) in 2022. The corporate collects weekly level-of-sale information on print books from over 16,000 locations including e-tailers, chains, mass merchandisers, neutral bookstores, and additional. Circana BookScan covers approximately 85% of the U.S. exchange print e-book market. The ranks on this chart are essentially based completely on portion gross sales. Some publishers classify titles that are essentially text, or art books, as graphic novels; ICv2 will get rid of these titles from the rankings.
