best seller: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que se recomienda utilizar el término "superventas" en lugar del extranjerismo "best seller" para referirse a un libro o disco que ha alcanzado un extraordinario número de ejemplares vendidos. Aunque la voz inglesa "best seller" esté recogida en el diccionario académico, se prefiere utilizar su traducción, tal y como se indica en el avance de la vigésimo tercera edición del Diccionario de la lengua española. 4, record 1, Spanish, - libro%20superventas
