My money's on Cliff Richard

I had my money on a Need For Speed: Pro Street Christmas number one, but it's Nintendo and Mario and Sonic at the Olympic games which has held back EA's racer back this week. In fact, Need for Speed has dropped down two places and doesn't look as though it will quite make it.

It's going to be right down to the wire by the looks of it and unless there's a sudden surge in sales from those below it looks as though it's between Mario & Sonic, Call of Duty 4 and FIFA 08 for the top Christmas spot.

The only new entrant into the top 20 this week is the return of Wii Play, which has re-entered at number 17.
