What Amazon’s Top-Selling Prime Day Item REALLY Was

Amazon said this week’s second-annual Prime Day promotion was its biggest day ever, led by the No. 1 item Fire TV Stick.

While the first part of that claim was verified by 1010data — the data analysis firm observed a stunning 300 percent sales increase year over year — the Fire TV Stick story is more of a sticky wicket.

According to the company, which crunches spending data representing millions of consumers, Amazon’s 7-inch, 8GB Fire Tablet was actually the day’s top unit-volume seller, but was given shorter shrift because the e-tailer counted each of the model’s various colors as separate items.

Regardless, Amazon’s family of proprietary products ruled the day, accounting for 12 (60 percent) of the top 20 items sold — up from nine products (45 percent) last year — and claiming more than 30 percent of the top 1,000 items, 1010data said.

Overall, the company noted, mobile phones (10 percent), apps (8 percent) and computers (6 percent) comprised most of the top 1,000 items sold.

Here’s their breakout of the day’s top 20 best sellers:
