UK charts: MW2 untouchable on top
LEGO Rock Band off to a blocky start.
Activision's Modern Warfare 2 has topped the UK All-Formats chart for a third week and, as December threatens to freeze releases, marches hopefully towards a possible Christmas number one.
The top three are unchanged this week, in fact, as Assassin's Creed II and New Super Mario Bros. Wii stay settled in second and third positions.
FIFA 10 leapt to fourth ahead of a fifth-place Wii Fit Plus, whilst Wii Sports Resort, Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games and Left 4 Dead 2 followed in sixth, seventh and eighth. Speedy drivers Forza Motorsport 3 and F1 2009 rounded out the top 10.
Newcomers were not only absent from the top 10, then, but missing from the entire top 40. Debutants like LEGO Rock Band (22nd in the Xbox 360 chart) have not performed that well.
