One Last Look Back: Our Top 40 Bestsellers of 2022
The beginning of the year feels like a fresh start, and it’s hard to believe we’re already past the half-way point of January. But before we dive headlong into all the delightful reading experiences 2023 has to offer, let’s take one last look back at what you enjoyed reading in 2022. As the year turns, we traditionally run a report showing what titles Island Books sold the most of during the previous year. Seeing the range of books represented is fascinating. Some of it reflects what we, as booksellers, talked about and recommended to customers. Some of it echoes what caught the imagination of the country, be it through national book clubs or the bestseller lists or Tik Tok. Some of it just goes to show what word of mouth will do for a book. Our Top 40 Bestsellers of 2022 includes the influence of bookseller favorites and what we saw requested by customers over and over again. Check out our link to see what made the list (no surprise that Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus was #1), how many you’ve read, and get ideas for what you might like to try next!

music asks: 1 & 11 :-)
1.) which artist(s) have you listened to the most lately?
According to Stats for Spotify it's Lana Del Rey, Ethel Cain, and J Dilla.
11.) a popular song you think is Good, Actually
I think that most of the music that gets popular gets popular because it's actually pretty good, even if not in the most interesting or groundbreaking way. And I thought the sexy baby on the hill was funny.

"Weird Al" Yankovic - White & Nerdy
2006
"White & Nerdy" parodies the song "Ridin'" by Chamillionaire and Krayzie Bone. It both satirizes and celebrates nerd culture, and includes many references to activities stereotypically associated with nerds and white people, such as collecting comic books and action figures, editing Wikipedia and playing Dungeons & Dragons. The music video features Seth Green, Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele. Repeated scenes shows Yankovic along with Donny Osmond (the "whitest guy I could think of", according to Yankovic) dancing in front of the Schrödinger equation.
The song became Yankovic's first career Top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100. It peaked at #9, beating his previous #12 peak for 1984's "Eat It". This was also his first Top 40 single since 1992's "Smells Like Nirvana". Both "White & Nerdy" and Straight Outta Lynwood were certified gold, and later platinum, by the RIAA. This marks the first time any one of Yankovic's singles has been certified platinum.
Total yes votes are 67,3%!
If you like Yankovic, make sure to also watch the totally historically accurate 2022 film about him; Weird: The Al Yankovic Story, starring Daniel Radcliffe.
