The summer release drought continues apace this week with not a single new entry in the entire top 20. Indeed, the only new entry in the entire top 40 is PS2 warsploitation first-person shooter America's 10 Most Wanted, while Tony Hawk's Underground re-enters at 40.
The upper end of the chart is virtually unchanged. Spider-Man 2 retains the top spot for a fifth week, while Driv3r and Shrek are also non-movers at two and three respectively. The big climber of the week is The Simpsons: Hit and Run, up from 33 to 18.
Expect a bit more in the way of chart excitement next week following the release of Doom 3. Could it finally knock Spider-Man off his webby perch?
