Diskussion:The New York Times Best Seller list

Manipulation?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_York_Times_Best_Seller_list - The list is based on a proprietary method that uses sales figures, other data and internal guidelines that are unpublished—how the Times compiles the list is a trade secret. In 1983 (as part of a legal argument) the Times stated that the list is not mathematically objective but rather editorial content. In 2017, a Times representative said that the goal is that the lists reflect authentic best sellers. The list has been the source of controversy over the years.
