Music/Videogame Sales and the US/UK Box Office: 18th October 2011

Another week has flown past, and so here's the UK Top 10 Best-Selling Videogames, the UK Top 10 Music Singles, and the US and UK Top 10 Box Office Movies.

So who are the Number One's this week?

Top 10 Bestselling UK Games (All Formats, All Prices):



This week sees No. 1 of the past two weeks, FIFA 12, get knocked down to two, as 360-Exclusive racer Forza 4 comes in at the top, but does it with only 700 more sales.
Wii, Move, and Kinect dance title Just Dance 3 comes in at No. 3, while the latest entry in the PES series makes a fairly good debut at No. 5, although yet again fails to make as big an impact as FIFA.
Other Top 10 entry this week is the second Rugby title to make it into the Top 10 recently, Jonah Lomu Rugby Challenge.
Honourable mentions go to the four games that were on our "13 Games That Won't Sell This Christmas" feature - they didn't make it to the top 10, but they were in the top 40.
Plane game, Ace Combat: Assault Horizon at No. 12, Dead Rising 2: Off The Record at No. 14, Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure at No. 16 and Spiderman: Edge of Time at No. 39.
