'Twilight' series slips from Top 50 Bestsellers List!

Twilight series slips from Top 50 as white books release According to Daemon’s Books, the Twilight series has finally slipped from USA Today’s Top 50 Bestsellers List “for the first time in over three years.”

The site reports: “At least one or more of the four books had been on the list since July 12, 2007 (170 consecutive weeks). Breaking Dawn fell from the top 50 to number 54, Twilight is at 172, New Moon is number 238, and Eclipse is 198. Meyer’s publicist tells USA Today that they expect to see a spike in book sales when the Eclipse DVD is released in December. Plus, Meyer is releasing The Twilight Saga: The Official Illustrated Guide in April, and that is sure to put her back on the bestseller list.”

Meanwhile, the white-covered U.K. versions of the books which were announced this fall have been released, according to Twilight Lexicon’s research. So far, it looks like ATOM has released (as of October 14th), Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse with this format.

The article at Daemon’s contains information on the slip which is self-explanatory, of course. By now, the film series is three deep, so chances are most of those fans which are/were going to buy the books have done so by now. Also, there aren’t any new film tie-in versions to purchase (naturally, the last one came out early in the summer to coincide with The Twilight Saga: Eclipse’s release), so when one of those is introduced with The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, that could also pick back up the sales speed.

Any other ideas as to why?

On a side note, it was definitely bound to happen at some point, and the fact that the entire Saga has not only made it on the Bestseller list but lingered there for years on end is extraordinary regardless of this current status.
