"To compile a list of bestselling audiobooks, Stacker consulted Audible's list of Top 100 Best Sellers. This story includes the top 50 audiobooks on this bestseller list as of July 24, 2020, ranked according to popularity on the streaming service. All quoted reviewer ratings are out of a potential five stars on Audible.
Readers will notice a few patterns. As most people would suspect, there are plenty of good fiction novels, particularly in the thriller/suspense/mystery genres. Self-help books are disproportionately represented, and there are a whole lot of memoirs, short meditations, and audiobooks designed to literally put listeners to sleep.
There are virtually no representatives from horror, military history, and other popular genres. A handful of authors made it into more than one spot, but one writer's literary wizardry proved so powerful that the author commands one in every 10 entries on this list."
