I would think Taylor on a non Ric Nightwing would rank higher, and I have no reason to think it did not since I think these numbers are bogus. But TTA did have a lot of hype for Red X (cover appearance), but also all the different Titans and who knows what for new characters.
Number ones matter. A new writer isn't usually enough to boost sales. Not these days anyway.

Nightwing'll ultimately rank a bit higher because it got a 2nd Printing. Infinite Frontier too.
