How the Amazon.com Top 100 List works.
Dear Amazon,
I am curious how the Top 100 list is created
and how items that are currently unavailable or
backordered can be on the list.
Thanks in Advance,
Aus

Dear Mr. Aus:
Thanks for writing to us at Amazon.com!
As an added service for customers, authors, publishers, artists,
labels, and studios, we wanted to show how items in our catalog are
selling. This bestseller list is much like the New York Times
bestseller list, except instead of listing just the top 50 or so
titles, it lists more than two million! The lower the number, the
higher the sales for that particular title.
The calculation is based on Amazon.com sales and is updated regularly.
The top 10,000 best sellers are updated each hour to reflect sales
over the preceding 24 hours.
The next 100,000 are updated daily. The rest of the list is
updated monthly, based on several different factors.
As the orders and stock level for these items changes very fast, you could
have a fast selling item out of stock.
We hope you find it interesting. We appreciate your interest in Amazon.com.
Best regards,
Shekhar Joshi
