The continuation after advertising
It is a ranking that French readers are impatiently awaiting each year to know the most popular writers of the year that has passed. The year 2024 was obviously prolific for French publishers since it sold 400,000 more copies than in 2023 with regard to the ten biggest bestsellers of the year. “If only one publishing house published these ten authors, it would have achieved a turnover of 112 million euros and would represent 23 % of the turnover of the market!”, precise Archchanna Varatarajah, from the GfK institute with Figarowhich publishes this annual classification.
For the second consecutive edition, it is a woman who is in the lead since it is, once again, of Mélissa da Costa, the young author of 34 years, who sold 1,160,000 copies of her works L 'last year. On second place, there is a regular in this ranking since it is the famous Guillaume Musso, still as popular and which released a new novel a few months ago and which also managed to exceed the million bar of Books sold. A podium completed by a small news since at only 28 years old, Morgane Moncomble manages to climb to third place in a classification dominated by the writers since they are 6 in all.
Marc Levy absent from the 2024 ranking
-A ranking, which, for the first time in 20 years, does not include the name of one of the most popular writers in France: Marc Levy. Since its starting beginnings in 2000 with its international bestseller And if it was true …(Robert Laffont), the 63 -year -old writer found himself in the best sales each year since 2004 and he has also been at the top of the peloton. An absence that could be explained by the publication only at the end of the year of his latest novel, The Bookstore of Books Prohibited (Robert Laffont).
Marc Levy, in love with Pauline Levêque with whom he is installed in New York, will certainly recover from this bad news, which will certainly make him want to come back even stronger this year.
