Page 3 girl Keeley Calendar for 2007 leaps into the Amazon.co.uk Top 20 Books Chart

20/09/2006

September 20, 2006, London: Amazon.co.uk today revealed that the Official Keeley Calendar 2007 has jumped into the Amazon.co.uk Top 20 Books chart and is so far proving to be the this years biggest selling calendar. Yesterday saw a 5000% uplift on the previous days sales as the calendar, exclusively featuring page 3 girl Keeley Hazell, rocketed to number 15 in the chart which is normally exclusive to books, as people are already starting to look forward to 2007.

Kes Nielsen, Head Books Buyer at Amazon.co.uk, said: "Although we've had calendars in the Top 20 books chart before, we normally only see them there around Christmas. For Keeley's calendar to hit the Amazon Top 20 in September proves she has a massive fan base who want to be sure to have her hanging on their walls in 2007.

"A 5000% overnight sales uplift is very rare for any product, but especially for a calendar. If sales continue at this pace, we expect the Keeley calendar to hit the Top 10 where it will be rivalling sales of best-selling authors such as Terry Pratchett, Bill Bryson and Ricky Gervais; all of whom may get a bit of a shock to see Keeley outselling them!"
