Sales totals for the Twilight Saga have dropped off, as you would expect for any series whose last book was published over two years ago. However, the books are still incredibly strong sellers.


“Call it escapism or merely a fondness for good stories, but in the midst of a recession at home and wars abroad, fiction seized a record-high share of the best sellers of 2010.


The year’s most popular author: Stieg Larsson, the late Swedish novelist, whose Millennium trilogy of crime thrillers captured the top three spots on USA TODAY’s Best-Selling Books list for 2010, based on data collected all year.


Overall, novelists — from Jonathan Frazen to Nicholas Sparks— accounted for 77% of the weekly best sellers, up from 76% in 2009 and the highest percentage since the list began in 1993.


Data collected for the list — which includes e-book sales — also show:


• Romance, which tends to sell best in hard times, accounted for 12% of best sellers, up from 10% in 2009. One factor: Readers who wouldn’t be caught dead with risqué covers in public enjoyed the privacy of reading romantic e-books.


• After a remarkable two-year run at the top of the annual list, Stephenie Meyer‘s popularity began to cool off. She accounted for 4% of best sellers the list tracked, down from 11% in 2009. The vampire and paranormal craze among readers isn’t dead, but it’s fading, accounting for just 9% of best sellers, down from 17% in 2009.”


See the whole story on USA Today.


USA Today also has the top selling 100 books of the year listed. Unlike other lists (NY Times, Publishers Weekly, etc) they don’t do sub-categories or eliminate categories all together. So, you get a really clear picture as to exactly what America is reading! Here’s where the Stephenie Meyer novels/novellas ranked in the top 100 books sold in 2010:


10 Breaking Dawn
11 Bree Tanner
13 Eclipse
24 Twilight
27 New Moon
81 The Host


Other notable YA/children’s novels making a strong presence on the list were all three books in the Hunger Games Series by Suzanne Collins, the Percy Jackson Series by Rick Riordan, and the Wimpy Kid Series by Jeff Kinney.”

"Sorry, you HP fans thought you had it in the bag over Twilight, ha!" 

"Twilight will always be in HP's shadows…" 

OK, so which is it, really? Can't we settle this box-office debate once and for all? 

MORE: Answer B!tch's take on the Potter vs. Twilight debate. 

Sure. 

In the battle of the fantastically successful franchises (with the fanatically competitive fan bases), the winner is: 

Harry Potter! 

In all of Hollywood history, no franchise has grossed more money worldwide. (Forget about Team Twilight's dejection, and imagine how James Bond feels: 007 had a 38-year head start on the Hogwarts kid.) 

Er, we mean, Twilight! 

In all of Hollywood history, no franchise has made more money faster—at midnight, in a single day, and in an opening day. 

Yeah, but Harry Potter movies are marathon runners—not sprinters! 

Despite their fast starts, the Twilight films have never outgrossed a Harry Potter film (that's completed its theatrical run) on the all-time worldwide chart. 

Yeah, but that's only 'cause the rest of the world is stupid! 

On the all-time domestic chart, Eclipse and New Moon have outgrossed every Harry Potter, save Sorcerer's Stone and Half-Blood Prince. 

Yeah, but… 

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone made so much money that even when its ticket sales are adjusted for inflation, it's still an all-time box-office king, right there next to West Side Story. (Don't bother looking for the Twilight films on that Box Office Mojo chart; they're not there.) 

Yeah, but… 

The most expensive Twilight movie (Eclipse) cost about one-third of the cheapest Harry Potter film (Chamber of Secrets): The movies get more bang for their studio's bucks! 

Oh, never mind… 

Harry Potter and Twilight are both fantastically successful franchises, and that's the final verdict. 

Deal with it.

Hahaha! I told you the result was great! Thanks, E! Thanks for being so real! Lol. And smacking haters into the dirt. We appreciate it. The evil Harry Potter fans are just afraid of Twilight because it's different and it's just as big. 

November 18, 2010 | 2010 Year In Review 

Ah, the ultimate love triangle between vampire, werewolf and human! "The Twilight Saga" cast flies in at No. 2 on "Extra's" Entertainer of the Year list. 

Stephenie Meyer's bestselling novels -- about a girl named Bella Swan who falls in love with vampire Edward Cullen, while also forging a close friendship with werewolf Jacob Black -- made the tween set (and their mothers) swoon, launching a literary phenomenon in 2005 on a par with "Harry Potter."

And then came the films. When the first "Twilight" movie was released in 2008, young stars Kristen Stewart ("Bella") and Robert Pattinson ("Edward") were catapulted into teen idol-dom, with hunky Taylor Lautner ("Jacob") following their path in "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" in 2009. 

This past summer, the third film, "Eclipse," opened to huge numbers, grossing over $300 million domestically. The highly anticipated fourth book, "Breaking Dawn," will now be made into two movies, to be released in 2011 and 2012.

Robert Pattinson (Friday December 10, at 22:05 pm) will be the next star of "Up Close & Personal." English actor born in 1986, began his career playing Cedric Diggory in the Harry Potter and thanks to his role as Edward Cullen in adaptations of novels by Meyer won even more fame and popularity, becoming one of the highest paid performers Hollywood. Considered by many to be one of the sexiest actors alive now, has also been listed as one of the most elegant of the most influential fashion magazines in the world. 

Play Bella Swan in the Twilight Saga, vampire bride played by Pattinson, Kristen Stewart's supposed to (which devoted its special program on Friday 17 December at 22:05 hours) a world famous, but this young actress just 20 years and had experience in the film industry by participating in films like "Panic Room" (2002) and "Zathura, A Space Adventure" (2005), among others.

"The Twilight Saga: New Moon" earned a place in the book for having the Highest Opening-Day Gross, $72.7 million, beating previous record holder "The Dark Knight."

The Twilight Saga: New Moon also has number one opening day and single day gross totals as well as the biggest midnight opening.

Each year, the Guinness World Records book chronicles the biggest, smallest, longest, and shortest records associated with nearly every conceivable aspect of the world, but being placed in the text is a very coveted feat, so it's a pretty big deal that New Moon made this year's cut.

The Guinness World Records book was released on Tuesday, September 14th.
Last year, both Twilight and its director, Catherine Hardwicke, were placed in the 2010 edition for "Highest-Grossing Movie by a Female Director." mtv | twiexaminer
