Underbelly: The Gangland War stays at number one again this week as the TV series’ fate in Victoria rests in the hands of three Court of Appeal judges.

A few surprising entries this week with Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World coming in at number three in the Highest New Entries chart and the fast-paced Gallop! also making a resurgence--in by a nose to third place in the Fastest Movers chart.
