UK charts: GT5 topples Black Ops

By Johnny Cullen

Chart-Track’s announced this morning Gran Turismo 5 has taken the top spot in this week’s UK charts, ending Black Ops’ three week run.

After five years in development, the Polyphony racer released last week, and has been rewarded with Sony’s third number one of this year following similar wins for Heavy Rain and God of War III.

Treyarch’s Black Ops didn’t go far, though; it only dropped to second.

Epic Mickey, Junction Point’s Disney platformer, didn’t even chart in the top 40 all-formats chart, and only came 11 in the Wii charts.

Other new releases include Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare at 14, with Michael Jackson’s: The Experience for Wii and PSP at 32.
