New research conducted by QRFY.com takes a look at the popularity of recent celebrity memoirs. The QR experts looked at the Goodreads and Amazon reviews of bestselling celebrity memoirs published in the last several years, averaging the scores they’ve received.

So who makes the list?

The top ten celebrity books are, in order of popularity:

It comes as little surprise to see books by mega stars ranking at the top of the list, including McCartney and BTS, while books which have received significant word of mouth popularity, such as McCurdy’s, also ranks high.

You can peep the full list of 50 titles and their respective ratings below, courtesy of QRFY.com. It is interesting to compare the rankings with the sales of some of these same celebrity memoirs. Perhaps Spare ranks near the bottom not because it’s not popular with readers but because so many readers picked it up–and/or because those readers chose to rate it low on Goodreads and Amazon.
