BEST-SELLERS: MONTHLY AUDO

Audiobook rankings are composed of sales in the United States of digital and physical audio products for the period of Sunday, March 25, through Saturday, April 28. Sales of titles are statistically weighted to represent and accurately reflect all outlets proportionally nationwide. Free-trial or low-cost trial audiobook sales are not eligible for inclusion. Publisher credits for audiobooks are listed under the audiobook publisher name. An asterisk (*) indicates that an audio book’s sales were barely distinguishable from those of the book above. A (b) indicates that some outlets reported receiving bulk orders. The New York Times Best Sellers are compiled and archived by The Best-Seller Lists Desk of The New York Times News Department and are separate from the Culture, Advertising and Business sides of The New York Times Co.
