Correct, copies are moved in bulk to push the chart position so they can give it fanfare. In some chart lists they denote this with a symbol to show that it looks like a lot of copies were bulk buys. I remember a podcaster I listen to saying in the US it happens all the time, he worked at Fox news and they'd have one of their stars release a 'New York Times #1 Bestseller' but when you went to the tv studio there were pallets and pallets of their book piled up.Currently laid up with a broken ankle and tattle is keeping me howling with laughter!
For what itās worth I think this number 1 on Amazon is meaningless. I am old enough to remember the charts before downloads when people bought actual records! The charts were based on copies sold but they couldnāt collate all copies sold across the country so the charts, which were a big thing, were based it on sales from a certain few record shops. Some people went to the actual shops and bought multiple copies on behalf of the record companies in order to get the record into the charts and more airplay.
A similar thing then happened with the iTunes Charts as downloads made it much easier for the management teams to buy multiple copies. Does anyone remember Megan McKenna's country tune getting to number one for a couple of milliseconds a few years back?
I would bet good money that a number of these pre orders for Hinchās book will be by her management team or the publisher themselves.
Anyway, back down the other trending threads of people I have never heard of but are making me cry with laughter. (Came here originally for Hinch via the Daily Fail, then Stephen Bear, and now am aware of so many other goons on SM platforms.)
