Britney Spears' memoir, 'The Woman in Me', has made a strong debut, selling 1.1 million copies in the U.S. in its first week. The sales figures include pre-orders, print sales, e-books, and audiobooks. The memoir has been praised by critics for its account of Spears' rise to fame and her ongoing struggles.
The memoir's sales, however, are far below first week numbers for memoirs by Barack Obama and Michelle Obama, and it is not even the highest selling memoir of 2023, lagging behind Prince Harry's 'Spare'. Despite Spears' claim that her book is 'the highest-selling celebrity memoir in history', it is contradicted by the article's information that it is not even the highest selling memoir of 2023.
The audiobook version of the memoir, read by Michelle Williams, is reportedly the fastest-selling audio release in Gallery Books' history, although no specific sales figure was provided. The process of selecting celebrity narrators for audiobooks is often a form of 'matchmaking', where producers aim to find a narrator who can connect the reader to the text. The marketing of the book also plays a role in the selection of the narrator.
The claim that the audiobook version of the memoir is the fastest-selling audio release in Gallery Books' history is not supported by specific sales figures.
