Fifty Shades of Grey has finally been pushed out of the #1 spot on USA Today‘s best seller list after 20 weeks. The feat was accomplished by the healine-making Navy SEAL book No Easy Day. USA Today‘s “Book Buzz” blog notes that Fifty Shades holds the record, just ahead of The Hunger Games, which spent 17 weeks in the top spot.

No Easy Day also arrives #1 on PW’s list. BookScan shows that it sold 253,000 copies in its first week on sale, nearly three times as many as Fifty Shades sold that week.

Although most libraries still have long hold lists for Fifty Shades in all formats (including the large print edition; we’ll leave you to figure out what that indicates), the number of new holds are slowing.
