Last week, I titled one of the afternoon-links posts \u201cIs Britney Spears\u2019 memoir actually outselling Prince Harry\u2019s Spare?\u201d<\/em> I asked because I had seen some truly weird claims about sales, not just from Britney, but from Britney\u2019s fans and supporters. While I know that Britney is a global pop star and one of the most famous women in the world, it just felt like there wasn\u2019t a huge energy of \u201cmillions of people must support Britney by buying her memoir.\u201d<\/em> Well, as it turns out, Britney\u2019s first-week sales were amazing\u2026 but Prince Harry\u2019s Spare<\/em> still outsold.<\/p>\n

\n

Britney Spears\u2019 memoir \u201cThe Woman in Me\u201d has sold 1.1 million copies in the U.S. alone through its first week.<\/p>\n

\u201cI poured my heart and soul into my memoir, and I am grateful to my fans and readers around the world for their unwavering support,\u201d Spears said in a statement released Wednesday by Gallery Books, a division of Simon & Schuster.<\/p>\n

The sales figures include pre-orders, print sales, e-books and audiobooks. On the day of publication, Spears posted on Instagram that her book had become \u201cthe highest selling celebrity memoir in history.\u201d It is not, so far, even the highest selling memoir of 2023.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Woman in Me,\u201d for which she did little publicity beyond Instagram, was the top seller of last week. But Prince Harry\u2019s memoir \u201cSpare,\u201d which came out in January, sold 1.6 million U.S. copies in its first week.<\/p>\n

The audio edition of \u201cThe Woman in Me,\u201d read by Oscar-nominated actor Michelle Williams, appears a key factor in the book\u2019s initial popularity. Williams\u2019 reading of \u201cThe Woman in Me\u201d has been highly acclaimed, and according to Gallery, is the fastest selling audio release in the company\u2019s history. The publisher did not immediately announce a specific audio sales figure.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

We still don\u2019t even know how many Spare<\/em> copies were sold – the reporting on sales stopped after a few months, when it was established that Spare was one of the bestselling memoirs in the past decade. Harry\u2019s memoir also had a global reach, turning up on bestseller lists around the world. It\u2019s possible that Britney\u2019s The Woman In Me will eventually outsell Spare, but I kind of doubt it – the literary buzz was not great, and many of Britney\u2019s supportive fans probably feel like they\u2019ve gotten the gist of her story from all of the coverage.<\/p>\n
