Top DVDs: 'Alvin, Chipmunks' squeak out win

"Alvin and the Chipmunks" from Fox won the week's battle of the beasts, edging Sony's "The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep" for the top spot in DVD sales. All in all, it was a dog week for DVD chart watchers.

"Alvin" couldn't burrow past Universal's "There Will Be Blood" in DVD rentals, settling for second place. "Blood" pooled at No. 3 in sales.

Sony's "Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story" was No. 5 without a bullet in sales and failed to place in rentals. Another newcomer, the politically correct "Lions for Lambs," spied a third-place showing in rentals but finished out of the top 5 in sales.

Warner Home Video's "I Am Legend" stood alone atop the Blu-ray chart.
