We compile this list using the USA region Wii Shop channel, so if you live elsewhere your list will probably be quite a bit different. Please feel free to post your region's findings below as always.
Keep in mind that the list below is a measure of actual sales made recently, not of the total time the game has been available for sale.
Here is the list for the 17th of December:
1 - World of Goo
2 (3) - My Aquarium
3 - Tetris Party
4 (8) - Space Invaders Get Even
5 (4) - Target Toss Pro: Bags
6 (5) - Brain Challenge
7 (6) - Dr Mario Online Rx
8 (10) - Defend your Castle
9 (9) - Midnight Bowling
10 (11) - Mega Man 9
11 (7) - Sudoku Challenge
12 (12) - Bomberman Blast
13 (13) - Wild West Guns
14 (14) - My Pokémon Ranch
15 (15) - TV Show King
16 (16) - Frat Party Games - Pong Toss
17 (18) - Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King
18 (17) - The Incredible Maze
19 (N) - Strong Bad Episode 5 - 8-Bit Is Enough
20 (N) - Hockey Allstar Shootout
N denotes a new entry
No real surprise that World of Goo is once again in the #1 spot, although we did see My Aquarium jump over Tetris Party for the #2 spot, which is a bit surprising.
The big climber this week is once again Space Invaders Get Even which climbed four more spots to #4. Is it possible that we might see this game supplant one of the big three next week and put an end to their chart-topping dominance? Guess we'll just have to wait and see. The big dropper this week was Sudoku Challenge which fell four spots to #11.
As usual the newest entry in the Strong Bad series jumped up on the charts in a hurry, but we'll have to wait and see if it can manage a bit more staying power than its predecessors were able to after dropping off the charts fairly quickly. We also saw last week's stinker Hockey Allstar Shootout grab the last spot on this week's chart at #20. Some readers might remember that this title earned WiiWare World's first 1/10 rating. We're anxious to see how far up the charts this title will make it. Pong Toss has certainly managed to do quite well despite a very low rating.

World of goo desrves first spot, it rocks!
Nice to see SIGE keep climbing. It's a really fun game.
World of Goo is still #1. It will be interesting to see how good it does in Europe.
(Yup, I did this ahead of time. Didn't write it all this in 14 minutes, that would be too crazy, even for me. I had some free time and I was bored, so why not you know. Don't worry, I've maybe the necessary adjustments in order to make it accurate at the time of posting.)
Hold the presses! They day it seemed would never come is here. And I'm sure plenty of you won't like it. Look below for details:

On this week's wall of text one can read that:
Not too much happened this week and still I managed to produce a buttload of text. Admit it, you all wish you were as awesome as me! Next week is exciting though. With World Of Goo confirmed as a new entry one wonders, who will be at the top of the charts next week. Will World Of Goo claim first or will casual bait deluxe manage to hold it off and will the WoG release hurt or help Mega Man 9. We'll probably see Orbient aswell as maybe Sudoku Challenge and unfortunately probably Hockey Allstar Shootout but those things are of lesser importance. Next week will be all about World of Goo. However, that chart will have to wait until Christmas Day cause here in Sweden we have the habit of celebrating "Eves" rather than "Days" and thus I'll be busy all day long. So the next chart will arrive December 25th. I'm sure you're all very disappointed by that...
Man, this makes me even more excited about getting my next Wii Points card. This makes me positive that I am going to get World of Goo since it has been in first place for so many weeks. Now the only thing that I am unsure about is what I should spend the remaining 500 points for...any suggestions people? VC games would also be accepted.
If it weren't for the fact that there will be a WiiWare version I'd say Bubble Bobble. But otherwise, ignoring the well known classics of course (Super Mario/Zelda/MegaMan etc), I'd say go with StarTropics.
When is that Wiiware bubble bobble is coming out anyway?
I don't car how good world of goo is (and yes, it's awesome, I've layed it) I'm not gonna buy it. I might just wait till Animales de la Muerte is out .... Good to see SIGE climbing the charts, might just reach number 2!
Glad to see WOG do so well, especially since LostWInds and TOki Tori have both already fallen off! Wonder how long SBCG4AP Epi5 will last
Glad to see WOG do so well, especially since LostWInds and TOki Tori have both already fallen off!
Already?
They've been on the top of the list for about 9 months?
I'm sure the makers of both games are absolutely overwhelmed by their success.
How the heck is pong toss and incredible maze still in the top 20?
@Shadx
Why are you not going to buy it if you like it so much? Is there a reason? Do you already own it on PC or something?
@mojo25
i dont know hmmm...how bout Mega Man 2 or 3? Or save it up like i did
@alexsays
ya Lostwinds just got off the Top 20 and as for Toki Tori, well thats been off since August or so.
Nice to see that World of Goo is still doing so well. Now I just need to remember to buy it.
Actually, I have 1500 points saved up, and while I was planning on spending it on some VC games, I might actually consider spending it on WoG.
@Alexsays-I realize they'd been on there for a while. "Already" referred to them falling off before lesser games. Plus, I'm obviously biased towards them since I bought them both. Don't be so cynical over every little thing. You might run out of CP (Cynical Power) when you really need it.
Just to return the Cynicalness: LW (May) =6 months and Toki Tori (June) = 5 months since they both fell in November if I remember correctly.
Boo. Beer Toss stayed. At least My Pokémon Ranch also stayed.
(Yes, there IS a pattern with my "Top 20 WiiWare" comments...)
You know what guys? You might as well just make that World of Goo picture the same picture you use for every article.
"New Discipline info! Here's a picture of World of Goo too!"
Ok, I'll be filling in for Wiiloveit today again it seems.
Here's the UK top 20:
1 My Aquarium
2 TV Show King
3 Tetris Party
4 CueSports - Snooker vs Billiards
5 Bomberman Blast
6 Brain Challenge
7 Pit Crew Panic!
8 The Incredible Maze
9 Art Style: Cubello
10 Defend Your Castle
11 My Pokémon Ranch
12 Space Invaders Get Even
13 Art Style: Rotohex
14 LostWinds
15 Wild West Guns
16 Strong Bad Episode 4: Dangeresque 3
17 Bang!
18 Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life As A King
19 Cocoto Fishing Master
20 Mega Man 9
Feel free to baffle at Mega Man 9 in 20TH(?!) position...
Oh great, now other developers will see it fit to pull the same stunt that Space Invaders Get Even did.
As for SB Ep.5, I think that'll do well. It has Trogdor, who ultimately is more famous than Strong Bad. I mean, Trogdor's rock theme was in a Guitar Hero game.
Omg Versus! thx to post top 20 in the Canada!
Hockey Allstar was 6th??? OMG..loll
Bomberman was 8th... it's good
World of goo 1st, Not a surprise...
and Strong bas episode 5, 13th! Wow...

Sorry, no time for comments
Just wanted at add the reason for the jump of TV Show King is the ad campaign that has been airing in the UK. Just goes to show that advertising does work.
Everything seems normal in here, WoG on top, but Pong Toss should have fallen at least one spot, oh well maybe next week. Oh, and Hang on The Incredible Maze!
Typical of Canadians... They see the word "hockey" and they jump on it immediately without even thinking.

Since I don't know the charts of last week I can't comment on the changes. I do hope World of Goo is going too sell well here.
@ Djungelurban
I just loved your post!
Keep up that witty writing
Haha, thanks BDPatVCR! Wasn't aware that I was being particularly witty, I just kinda wrote and that was the result but I'll try my to meet your expectations in the future aswell!
@Djungelurban: Thanks for filling in for me, I couldn't make it to the computer last night
Since you put the charts up there has been no change, other than Brain Challenge and Pit Crew Panic swapping around. Next weeks chart (I'll try to get it up on Christmas Eve, though you probably shouldn't expect one on the eve of new year... unless the thread is up earlier during the day.) should be an interesting one, with Niki and WoG going up (the first being cheap and the second being amazing) alongside Orbient, so there could be a bit of disruption throughout the top 10.
Admit it, you all wish you were as awesome as me!
Erm... "awesome" isn't how I'd put it...
Hockey Allstar Shootout is selling better than Bruiser & Scratch.... Disgusting....
@ Djungelurban
LOL that was very funny...I actually laughed out loud when I read that. Who actually laughs when they write "lol"?
lol...
^ I didn't actually laugh at that one
You Deserve to Die Pong Toss!
Want a chance to get Tiki Towers for free?
We here at RealArcade are about to release our next WiiWare title, Tiki Towers next Monday (12/22) though WiiWare. I should have access to gift a few lucky people a free copy of the game directly to their Wii!
Tiki Towers is a family friendly physics based puzzler that features building puzzles and monkeys! Come on - everybody loves monkeys, right?
For more info about the game, check it out here: http://playtikitowers.com/
If you're interested in possibly getting a free copy (We would have to gift it to you via the Wii Friend Code system), please send me your Wii Friend Code via email to: tikitowers@real.com
I will contact the lucky folks who responded back to me in time (I will go by order...first come first served - so hurry!) with our Wii Friend code so they can enable us to make the gift transfer. At this time, I don't know how many free games I'll be able to give out. It could be four - it could be twenty.
I'll send email responses back by Friday and we'll gift the game on Monday. If I get any more details to share, I'll update it here. I can only gift to those Wii users in the US. Sorry! I just discovered that bit.
Also, if selected, you will need to update our friend code on your Wii before Monday and enable your system to receive gifts in order to get the game. Thanks and GOOD LUCK!
Come on Episode 5, you deserve a higher rating! How did Hockey Allstar Shootout get on the top twenty?
Real Arcade's ad was kind of random.
@cheeseman post #35 The price is what got Hockey Allstar Shootout into the top twenty that and most people do not read reveiws.
@Ratengo, Post 15
I can barly understand any of the titles on your top ten.
Maybe I should brush up on my japaneese
@gameking23
True that, and that's why My Aquarium passed Tetris Party
