Decoding the BSR
Amazon's Best Sellers Rank (BSR) is a calculation based on Amazon sales and is updated hourly to reflect recent and historical sales of an item.
A lower BSR (e.g., #1) means the product is currently the top seller in its category. However, BSR is relative—a BSR of 1,000 in Home & Kitchen represents much higher sales than 1,000 in Video Games.
