Sex—especially kinky sex—sells. “Fifty Shades of Grey” by British author E L James sold 15.2 million copies following its release in late 2011, grabbing the title of best-selling book of the past decade. Even more astounding, the Nos. 2 and 3 best-sellers of the decade were the other two novels in the BDSM trilogy: “Fifty Shades Darker” (10.4 million) and “Fifty Shades Freed” (9.3 million).
The books were released within weeks of one another at the start of the decade by Random House and would sell more than 100 million copies. They also enjoyed a renewed mid-decade surge thanks to the racy 2015 movie. The trilogy combined earned $35 million in the US according to NPD Bookscan, which tracks the majority of book sales worldwide.
