#1 — August 2024 bestsellers + the Sunday Times top 100 of the past 50 years

Nielsen BookData's The Bestsellers podcast

Philip and Belle count down the UK's top 20 bestselling books in the month of August (02.00), reveal their "Beyond the Bestsellers" picks (11.28), and chat about The Sunday Times's recently-published top 100 of the past 50 years (19.30). Along they way they discuss TikTok's influence on the UK book market, judging a book by its cover, a book often bought but rarely read, the fact that UFOs are now called UAPs, and that you can cook gnocchi in an air fryer.

— Fiona Watt's That's Not My... Witch
— James Clear's Atomic Habits
