I'm happy that the Monogatari Series, Grimgar and KonoSuba all made it into the top 10 Very Happy and I hope we'll get to see another season of Grimgar as well as the other two

Overlord hasn't released a vol yet this year, so this is all backlog sales.

SAO still proving it's a dominant force in the LN department. I think it's probably the most successful LN series to date.

Bakemonogatari or the entire Monogatari series as a whole in particular is most likely outselling SAO since that was before complete charting really started and the BDs sold at least twice as much as SAO, with BDs usually being the weak link of the chain due to prices.

What I could find was something that claims:
