Pinch of Nom Quick & Easy led again, but 2021 was the year TikTok rewrote the chart: Colleen Hoover's It Ends With Us and Adam Silvera's They Both Die at the End charted explicitly because, as the subtitles admit, the app made readers buy them. Richard Osman's Thursday Murder Club placed multiple titles as the cosy-crime boom took hold. Matt Haig's The Midnight Library topped the fiction it sat among. The surprise is the deep backlist revival, Atomic Habits, The Body Keeps the Score and Rich Dad Poor Dad all selling as if newly published, driven by online recommendation. A year when an algorithm became the bestseller-maker.
