Amazon has released annual data on which city in Canada has the most sales of romance novels, to take the crown of “Most Romantic City.”
For the fifth year in a row, British Columbia’s capital city, Victoria, has taken the title yet again. The rankings are based on comparing sales data from January 1, 2016 to January 1, 2017, from print and Kindle editions, “plus romantic comedies, relationship books, jewelry and sexual wellness products,” in cities with over 80,000 residents.
Here is the list of the top 20 “Most Romantic Cities” in Canada:
There must be something in the water here in Victoria—Amazon says the city had a clean sweep in every category, buying the most romance novels, romantic comedies, jewelry, relationship books and sexual wellness products.
Eight cities in the top 20 are newcomers this year compared to 2016, such as Abbotsford, to go with Grand Prairie, Prince George, North Bay, Medicine Hat, Burlington, Maple Ridge and New Market.

Of course, the data is to help promote Amazon’s Valentine’s Day store, which you can check out here.

Nanaimo is in the top 10, YAH!
Boom!!
All those soccer moms in Abbotsford reading crap like “50 Shades of Grey” lol
Lol
Oh come on where’s Montréal ? Ì fall in love with just being in that city haha
Or you could interpret it as “Top cities where people are prone to buying cheesy crap to fill the void in their lives”
This list is complete BS. Quebec City should be in the top 3. We have french cuisine and culture, snow, UNESCO world heritage sites, a freaking castle that is the most photographed hotel, and a charming old town.
Make Quebec City great again !
