Bleeding Cool has this Bestseller List each week, combined from the info some comic stores give to them. Here's the link:

Some important things to note there:
"Marvel’s Mosaic 1 did terrible. Darth Vader 25 I ordered big numbers on thanks to him being in the upcoming Rogues One movie thinking interest would be high. I was wrong. Vader did make it into the top ten but sold the least amount out of the whole series. Issue 25 of Vader needs some legs. I read the issue and enjoyed it so hoping to be able to sell it. Clone Conspiracy 1 there is a second printing for already? We have plenty left of the first printing."
"Unfortunately Marvel Now! week two had very little to offer. All the new #1’s, Great Lakes Avengers, Mosaic and Solo, were pretty much DOA! Marvel please stop publishing books nobody demanded or wants and start listening to your customer base, everyone would benefit."
"Solo *just barely* edged out Mosaic for the most disappointing #1 of the week. Already started making room in the $1 bins for unsold copies."
"Marvel Now is not off to a good start in our store. Last week had way too many titles on an already crowded week, and then this week only had a few mid-level books, but none of the new Marvel books or jumping on points even made our top twenty of the week’s sales so far except Clone Conspiracy at spot 12 (behind Hal Jordan 6). Great Lakes Avengers didn’t even sell Squirrel Girl numbers yet even though I really enjoyed it, and so far, we’ve sold 12% of the copies of Mosaic that we ordered. Ouch. Last week, we sold 1 copy of Solo off the shelf and 3 to subs....I love Jessica Jones, and Alias is one of my favorite comics of all time, but even with all the new Netflix fans, no one new is coming in the store to check out the new title."
"Clone Conspiracy has been passed on by a few Amazing buyers from their folders as they said they’re done with $4.99 books, even if it’s supposed to be the “main title” for the next few months. We have NEVER seen price resistance like this in my 26 years of selling comics"
"Once again, Marvel manages to get one book (Darth Vader #25) in the top ten at our store… in tenth place, behind eight DC titles and an Image book (Reborn). Marvel sales have never been more disastrous than they are right now, and the company’s only response is to pile on more garbage variants to try to coerce retailers into ordering books that they can’t sell."
Aside from these I gathered some info from Comixology, let's see where last week's Marvel books ranked in the best seller list:

#37 - Gwenpool #7
#38 - Great Lakes Avengers #1
#48 - Mosaic #1
#57 - Howard the Duck #11
#58 - Thunderbolts #6
#131 - Solo #1 (What. A. Joke.)

What is the point of this thread you ask? Well...
A 14 year old boy could sell more books than whoever are currently in charge of Marvel. The decisions they are making are horrible.
Great Lakes Avengers. Solo. Prowler. Mosaic. Slapstick. Unstoppable Wasp. Hawkeye. America Chavez. Foolkiller. Hyperion. Nighthawk. Starbrand and Nightmask. Angela. Drax. Gamora. Star-Lord. Rocket Racoon and Groot. Nova. Venom Space Knight. Mockingbird. Squirrel Girl. Moon Girl. Gwenpool. Vote Loki. Agents of SHIELD. Hellcat. Red Wolf. All-New Inhumans. All-New Hawkeye. Black Knight. Wierdworld. Hercules. Illuminati.
These books all have been/are bound to be failures. (Bolded once are beyond reason to even launch in the first place)
I'm not saying don't make new series focused on new or obsecure characters, that would be stupid. Of course have some. But this many, pretty much in the same time? Are you mental, Marvel?
Pfft. I'm just so frustrated at this point.
