:
The fact that this is #2 on the New York Times BEST SELLER LIST indicates it *IS* a "New York Times Best Seller".
If it were NOT on the New York Times BEST SELLER LIST this would settle as "no".
[BTW, the link provided by Jenni is NOT the NY Times Best Seller List, rather it is "Publishers Weekly" ... which ought not be used to settle this market either "yes" or "no".]
(I have no predictions in this market.)
Settle as "Yes".
