DNJournal's new weekly Top 20 chart has been released and is led by the highest sale reported so far this year. It sold for close to $1.7 million and was the second seven-figure sale of 2008. We also saw a pair of six-figure sales that both rank among the year's 15 biggest sales. In addition to the usual bounty of .com domains, .net had a big week putting four names on the all extension leader board (with three of those hitting the top ten). The .nets did even better on the Global Contenders chart, sweeping the first ten positions. The Country Code chart was led by a .co.uk domain, but Germany's popular .de extension won the overall numbers game piling up 13 of 20 chart entries.
