Yes i must admit i had thought of that, but i can't find that definition anywhere, and it seems a much more general term.

Well, there's no way to copy from that site, nor give a link, but this is what I read:

bestseller is when you sell an amount equal to 1 percent of the population of your nation's population. That has changed, however.
