Good day and welcome back to Charts and That. Far Cry is still at the top of the charts, alongside Peter Rabbit and (eugh) Lil Dicky Ft. Chris Brown in music. Let’s count them down.

For games this week, Far Cry 5 is still sitting atop the pile, followed by FIFA and Sea of Thieves. Another entry would be Crash Bandicoot which was recently revealed to be getting a PC release.

  1. Far Cry 5
  2. FIFA 18
  3. Sea of Thieves
  4. Forza Motorsport 7
  5. PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds

  10. Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy

Now movies. Peter Rabbit is still on top in its third week in cinemas, followed by A Quiet Place and Steven Spielberg’s Ready Player One. A Quiet Place has been getting some serious recognition, with stellar reviews, sitting at 96% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Finally, music, where Jess Glynne, Rudimental and Macklemore haven’t moved from second in the top 10, with Lil Dicky and Chris Brown taking first place. It’s awful. Just saying. Weeknd is also back in the charts for the first time in a while, with Call Out My Name. Expect graphic lyrics because the guy has no self-control.
