HALL OF FAME
The Platinum Hall of Fame is home to authors and titles that have achieved outstanding sales within the UK. Titles that sell over one million copies, and authors who have sold over five million copies across their entire catalogue, are inducted to the Hall of Fame.
This gallery is a monument to these titans of literary output – a celebration of the author, the book and of the wider cultural impact that sales of this magnitude signify. This glittering collection contains a diverse range of titles, from classic to contemporary, across multiple genres, across a huge range of literary styles, reflecting the diverse literary tastes of UK consumers.
As of December 2023, over 145 titles have been inducted into the Hall of Fame. To be in the Hall of Fame is to stand along the likes of Harper Lee, Margaret Atwood, Hilary Mantel and Phillip Pullman.
Author Platinum Awards
The Author Platinum Award was introduced in 2017 to celebrate authors that had achieved sales of 5,000,000 across all formats, but not necessarily with a single title. As with the other Platinum Status winners, all Author Platinum Award winners are entered into The Bestseller Awards Hall of Fame.
