British Sales Charts: We Did Not See This One Coming

The British charts are a mostly predictable thing. Nintendo games most of the time, football games when applicable, shooters at Christmas. But last week threw up a little surprise.

Topping the charts was not Batman, not a Wii game, not a DS game, and definitely not Beatles Rock Band, which didn’t even make the top 10.

No, coming in at #1 was the 360 version of Colin McRae: DiRT 2. Bit of a shock, seeing the sequel to a decent if unappreciated racer come in ahead of The Beatles and The Batman. Then again, neither of those games were advertised by a pair of tits.
