New York Times Bestseller List

Does anyone know how many times Brandon has been on the NY Times bestseller list or where I can find this info?  Even better would be if anyone knows when he peaked, at what number, and with which book. 

 

His website says he's been on it 6 times, but then it also talks about projects upcoming in 2013, so clearly it's *way* out of date!

I decided to figure this out myself since I couldn't find it listed anywhere.  This is what I've found:

Towers of Midnight (WoT) #1 Nov 21, 2010
The Gathering Storm (WoT) #1 Nov 15, 2009
Memory of Light (WoT) #1 January 27, 2013

Calamity (Reckoners 3) #1 in YA Series, February 25, 2016 / March 6, 2016  (also Earlier in the week, the book hit #1 on the Audible bestseller list (for all titles, all genres) )
 
Top Ranking for other books:
Adult Fiction Hardcover
Shadows of Self (Mistborn 5) #8 October 18, 2015

Warbreaker #24 June 28, 2009
 
Young Adult
The Rithmatist, #6 YA, May 22, 2013
 
I don't believe there is a NYT Bestseller list for short stories, so that leaves out a number of them.  Elantris was his first, before enough people knew him for a book of his to make it on the Bestseller list.  I also don't see Alcatraz on any bestseller lists.  That leaves the original three Mistborns.  I don't think they made it to the best seller list either, but I have not been able to confirm.  Can anyone else?
