This is why the rankings shown on Amazon are a valid source of sales data for Audible. The overwhelming majority of all audiobook sales are made on Audible, not Amazon. Sales data for example is shared – Audible sales data is “fed” into Amazon’s rankings. Some aspects of each of these platforms are separate and some are shared. The longer answer is that Amazon owns Audible. You may be wondering – how does it make sense that we have to go to Amazon to get rankings for Audible audiobooks? Are these not 2 different platforms? Just search the exact title and subtitle of the audiobook on Amazon and it will show up.

This means that first you identify the book on Audible and then you find it on Amazon. Interestingly enough, Only Amazon shows the audiobook rankings. To find Audible rankings, you have to go to Amazon.
