According to estimations by the research department of Home Media Magazine, Blu-ray software sales in the fourth quarter of 2009 through December 20 was just 23,000 copies short of 15 million – a milestone certain to be passed when the sales for the week ended December 27 are added. The year's top-selling title was 'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen', closely followed by 'Star Trek'.



Here is the top ten for 2009, again through December 20:

1. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
2. Star Trek
3. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
4. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
5. Up
6. The Dark Knight
7. X-Men Origins: Wolverine
8. Quantum of Solace
9. Twilight
10. Watchmen

Unfortunately, and as usual, no actual sales figures per title were published. However, it is worth mentioning that the comedy 'The Hangover', with only one week on shelves, sold enough copies to enter the yearly charts in 15th place, with 31.55% as many units sold as 'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen'.
