Heck, Grey by EL James was number 1 a couple of weeks ago. The publisher had marked down the ebook to 99 cents.
I would bet money that I know what one of the best sellers will be the week of September 1.
I would also bet that it makes the NYT list.
So now do you want to talk authors or individual books?

Given that it's August 14th, 2015, that's pretty much as up to date as one gets. Trying to look at 2015 figures ignores the fact that many of the big sellers tend to come out in the September/October time frame and give a false comparison.
I'm talking books. If you talk authors, you start to get into chapter books where one actual book counts as 5-10 in the sales figures. That leads to an apples to watermelons comparison.
