I'm not exactly sure that it was even an overnight bestseller, but the reason that it was so popular is that it exposed the true nature of slavery to the people living in the north for the first time. Before this book, the north's citizens only had a vague idea of what slavery was about and what was involved in it. When this book was published however, it was a real eyeopener for people.

If you have any further questions, please leave a comment and I will try my best to answer it.
