Harry Potter has certainly worked its magic on the calendar front this year, with the official licensed calendar coming top of Danilo’s Entertainment Calendar Chart.
“This year has thrown up a few surprises and chart debuts,” Claire Bates, Danilo’s marketing manager told PG Buzz about the anticipated charts based on sales, one for its entertainment calendar titles and another for its sports titles. On the entertainment front, Claire revealed “Harry Potter has sold 10% more than any other calendar in the Top Ten and displaced last year’s ‘number one’, Little Mix, who moves down to 5th place.”
Making their debuts in the second and third spots respectively is the Blue Planet 11 (which won a Calies award) and Fortnite.
