There’s no change at the top for the UK physical sales chart, as a lack of new releases leaves Lego ruling the roost.

Given how busy the first three months of the year were, things have slowed to a crawl in terms of both new releases and UK physical sales in general, with the only real movement of note in the top 10 being as a result of retailer discounts for WWE 2K22.

To no surprise, is the number one for the third week running, although this week’s Sports (aka Wii Sports for Switch) does have a chance of dislodging it.

MotoGP 22 certainly didn’t though, with last week’s sole new release only getting as far as number 39. Although that’s still relatively good for a fairly niche title.
