Bestsellers 1999-2024

It's something we get asked every season. Each year, one big title pips all the others to the post. Here, we list every bestseller since the turn of the century. It's an almost perfect reflection of popular culture across the past two decades. Robbie and Kylie dominated the first few years, with entertainment titles only ever nudged out of the way during successful Liverpool Football Club years. There have been a couple of historical curveballs thrown, which we love - remember the lovely Charlie Dimmock?

Just to be clear, we didn't make a mistake from 2012 to 2015 - One Direction did sell more calendars than anybody else for four years running, before Justin Bieber briefly took over. Nobody else has come close to the calendar sales we saw for the outrageously popular 1D.
