The formula for calculating how many books need to be sold to make the New York Times' bestseller list is actually a trade-secret, which gives it legal protection from being revealed. There is little research or speculation as to the real formula but undoubtedly it is likely related to how many books are sold in major U.S. outlets, where the NYT collects most of its data.
