The Beatles: Number crunching
With apologies to Private Eye.
Sales of Abbey Road, best-performing of The Beatles albums on re-release day following a month of press coverage, Beatles Week on the BBC, and Gennaro Castaldo pulling double-shifts:
7,164
Sales increase of David Eaglemen's Sum on Amazon alone, after a single tweet by Stephen Fry:
6000%

Not necessarily as impressive as it might sound as you can't compare percentages directly with quantities - if Sum had already sold only a single copy (I have no idea how many it had sold) then that would mean just an additional 600 copies were sold.
1 x 6000% = 60 additional copies
