Michelle Obama's 'Becoming' has the longest run atop Amazon since 'Fifty Shades'
By Brian Stelter, CNN Business

New York (CNN Business)"Becoming" by Michelle Obama is not just one of the best-selling books of the past year — it is one of the hottest titles of the decade.
The inspirational memoir by the former first lady has been on sale for more than two months, yet it is still No. 1 on Amazon's constantly updated list of best-selling books.
Amazon said "Becoming" enjoyed the longest streak at No. 1 for any book since "Fifty Shades of Grey" came out in 2012.
No political tome or public figure's memoir has ranked No. 1 for as long as "Becoming," according to data the company provided to CNN Business.
"Becoming" was released on November 13, specifically timed to maximize holiday season sales.
It hit No. 1 on Amazon the Friday before the publication date and stayed there for nearly nine weeks.
