According to USA Today’s Best-selling books list, Jay Z’s biography slash memoir Decoded fell 3 spots from #18 to #21 one week after its debut.
Since hitting bookshelves on November 16, Decoded has sold 54,983 total copies in all 50 states.
The book scanned a measly 27,113 copies last week, just barely breaking the $1 million sales mark for total sales (based on Amazon.com’s list price of $18.88).
The USA Today‘s bestselling list is based on actual book sales rather than who you know over at the NY Times.
Decoded was ghostwritten by gifted author Dream Hampton, the former editor of VIBE magazine. It’s a narrative of Jay Z’s journey from common street hustler to corporate boardroom hustler told through a collection of his rhymes.
Former president George Bush’s memoir, Decision Points, tops the list scanning 189,386 copies last week for a total of 885,891 books sold.
