Bestselling authors, Priscilla Shirer (One In a Million--Nonfiction) and Stephanie Perry Moore (Get What You Give--Fiction) lead the pack of Black Christian authors on the May 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 Tuesday, June 1, 2010.
