FIFA 20 retains number one position
A very quiet week for new releases led to a general stagnancy in the high street last week, as Electronic Arts’ football sim FIFA 20 retained the top spot of the UK Charts.
The Top Ten generally consisted of high-selling titles jostling for position, with Activision’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, EA’s Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, and Nintendo’s trifecta of Pokemon Sword and Shield, Luigi’s Mansion 3, and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe all bouncing around the upper echelon. Ubisoft’s Just Dance 2020 managed to climb from number 13 to number six, as families prepare for those awkward, post-Christmas Dinner party shenanigans.
Elsewhere in the charts, Nintendo continue to feature throughout the Top 40 with most of their Switch poster titles – including Super Mario Odyssey, Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Ring Fit Adventure, Super Mario Maker 2 and LABO Toy-Con – all putting in an appearance. Going forward through December, we can expect to see little in the way of major shakeups when it comes to the Top Ten.
