Stephenie Meyer was on the top of USA Today’s year end list. According to the article she had the following records for 2008:

• Meyer and her Twilight books claim the top four slots on our year-end list, the first author to do so. In 2000, Rowling’s Harry Potter books had Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 5. Who Moved My Cheese was No. 4 that year.

• Meyer’s books, including the adult novel The Host, accounted for 12.5% of all sales tracked by our list — that’s higher than the record 11.3% logged by Rowling in 2000.

• Meyer’s books spent 19 weeks at No. 1. That matches Rowling’s 19 weeks at No. 1 in 2000. (Breaking Dawn had four weeks, Aug. 7-28. Twilight accounted for the other 15 weeks: July 10; July 24-31; Sept. 4-18; Oct. 23-Dec. 4; and Dec. 24-31.)
