Wrath of the Lich King’s immovable at the top of the American PC charts, holding off Sims 2 expansions, Spore, Big Daddies: the full nine yards.

In probably the greatest shocks in the history of shocks, Wrath of the Lich King has topped the American PC charts for the week ending November 22.

Left 4 Dead took second, with CoD: World at War coming in third.

Don’t expect that top position to change for a while.

Fallout 3′s safe at the top of the US PC charts this week, again holding off Spore and Red Alert 3. Wrath of the Lich King’s almost certainly going to blitz it next week, but it’s been a great run for Bethesda, nonetheless.

2. Spore
3. Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3
4. WoW: Battle Chest
5. Far Cry 2

Fallout 3′s gone top in the monthly US PC chart, as you’d expect. Spore won it in September, again, shocking no one.

We missed a week here, but what the hey. Spore’s still top in the NPD PC chart, with Warhammer Online bringing up the rear. Data for September 21-27.

1. Spore
2. Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning

6. WoW: Battle Chest
7. World Of Warcraft
8. The Sims 2 Double Deluxe

Spore only managed a number two in its first week on sale in the US, so things must be brighter for Mr Wright now he knows he’s on top in the second.

Data for the week ending September 13. Thanks, BigDownload.

1. Spore
2. Spore Galactic Edition
3. The Sims 2 Apartment Life
4. Spore Creature Creator
5. WoW: Battle Chest
6. The Sims 2 Double Deluxe
7. World of Warcraft

Good effort, Spore, but not good enough to beat The Sims. Will Wright must be really annoyed with himself. Spore’s second in this week’s US PC chart, which is probably amazingly good, when you think about it.

Data for the week ending September 6. Last week’s chart’s here. Thanks, Shacknews.

10. Crysis / Crytek / $33 (Average)

Another week for the US PC charts means there’s another Sims title at number one, or in the top three anyway. The safe money is Spore being numero uno next week, of course. Data’s according to NPD, so dispute it at your peril.

1. The Sims 2 Apartment Life
2. World Of Warcraft: Battle Chest

4. World Of Warcraft
