In terms of money spent, Cyber Monday is now bigger than Black Friday. The number of items on sale outpaces that of Black Friday, the discounts are deeper, and shoppers spend more money. So what did people buy this year at Amazon ($AMZN), arguably ground-zero for Cyber Monday?

Turns out that, once again, Insta-Pots were a big hit, but so were Apple's new AirPod Pro earphones, along with Amazon's own Fire Tablets in a repeat top-seller performance of Black Friday.

This all according to Amazon's sales-rank numbers for Cyber Monday.

The first chart below — it's a long one — includes all of the #1 sellers for Amazon's various categories.

AirPod Pro's reportedly sold so well that Amazon ran out of stock on the headphones halfway through Cyber Monday. They're now back in stock, but back to the original price of $249.

About the Data: 

Thinknum tracks companies using the information they post online - jobs, social and web traffic, product sales and app ratings - and creates data sets that measure factors like hiring, revenue and foot traffic. Data sets may not be fully comprehensive (they only account for what is available on the web), but they can be used to gauge performance factors like staffing and sales.
