Stephenie Meyer's four-book Twilight series has sunk its fangs into USA TODAY's Best-Selling Books list - with no signs of letting go. Meyer's domination of the list for the past 12 months has smashed records that until now had belonged to J.K. Rowling.

Breaking Dawn, the fourth book in the teen-vampire romance series, entered the list at No. 1 on Aug. 2, 2008. Its sales and those of Twilight, New Moon and Eclipse, the first three books, have remained staggering.

This week, Meyer's novels are Nos. 4, 5, 6 and 7 on USA TODAY's list.

Rowling, overall, has sold more books than Meyer - her seven-book series about boy wizard Harry Potter has 143 million copies in print in the USA, while Meyer has sold 40 million copies of her four books. But Rowling can't match Meyer's control of the list.


Yey, heja Twilight!
