LOS ANGELES - The Season 3 DVD set of "Grey's Anatomy" topped the national DVD sales chart Wednesday, ending the weeklong reign of another TV-DVD release, Season 3 of "The Office," which slipped to No. 3.
In between, former champ "Blades of Glory" remained at No. 2 on the Nielsen VideoScan First Alert sales chart for the week ending September 16,
Meanwhile, on Home Media Magazine's rental chart for the same week, a trickle of weak new theatrical releases kept a contingent of veterans at the top.
"Blades" held down the No. 1 position in its third week in stores, adding $5.5 million in rental earnings to bring its rental gross to $22 million. "Georgia Rule" and "Delta Farce," were at Nos. 2 and 3, respectively, in their second weeks, each earning slightly less than $3 million for the week.
The highest-ranking newcomer on the rental chart was "Away From Her," at No. 10 with $1.7 million. The acclaimed Alzheimer's Disease drama, which earned $4.6 million in theaters, marked the directing debut of actress Sarah Polley.
On the high-def disc charts, "300" remained at No. 1 on both the Blu-ray Disc and the HD DVD sales chart.
