(Based upon Amazon.com rankings, BarnesandNoble.com rankings,
and BlackCBC.com rankings.)
FEBRUARY 2010
The next BCNN1/BCBC Bestsellers List will be published on Monday, March 1, 2010.
How we calculate the BCNN1/BCBC Bestsellers List: Very simply, we combine the rankings of Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com, and BlackCBC.com for each book. Once we get the combined number, we rank the books according to the lowest number. We have found, down through the years, if a book is truly a bestselling book, it will be a bestselling book across the board, via online stores and in brick-and-mortar stores.

SPECIAL NOTE: All of the books that we rank, which is a list of over 300 Christian books written by African-Americans, with the exception of one, are on Amazon.com. About 30 of the Christian books written by African-Americans are not on, or are not ranked on BarnesandNoble.com, indicating that it is not selling through BarnesandNoble.com. In order to have a fair bestsellers list, we want to encourage all authors and publishers to make sure their books are sold through BarnesandNoble.com, as well as Amazon.com and BlackCBC.com.
