About: Midlist

An Entity of Type: Book106410904, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Midlist is a term in the publishing industry which refers to books which are not bestsellers but are strong enough to economically justify their publication (and likely, further purchases of future books from the same author). The vast majority of total titles published are midlist titles, though they represent a much smaller fraction of total book sales, which are dominated by bestsellers and other very popular titles. Authors who consistently publish profitable but not bestselling books are referred to as Midlist authors.

  • De Midlist is een Nederlandse hitlijst die probeert een meer gebalanceerde weergave van de populariteit van hits te meten door de grootste Nederlandse hitparades, de Nederlandse Top 40 en de Mega Top 50, te verrekenen tot een gemiddelde hitlijst. De lijst wordt sinds 1994 officieel uitgegeven, maar vele hit-o-logen maken dit soort lijstjes al zo lang als er meerdere hitlijsten naast elkaar bestaan hebben. In 1974 bestonden er vijf naast elkaar (alle zeezenders eentje en de Nationale Hitparade), in 1980 vier naast elkaar (ook nog de en de ) en later in de jaren '90 waren er drie (ook nog: de ). De Europarade, die door de TROS vanaf hemelvaartsdag 1976 werd uitgezonden en tot aan 1992 bestond, verrekende aanvankelijk acht en later twintig landelijk geachte hitparades uit diverse Europese landen, tot men in 1987 ertoe overging de computers van de diverse samenstellende marktonderzoeksbureaus aan elkaar te verbinden en op grond van reĆ«le verkoopcijfers de lijst samen te stellen.
