Every week, Gamasutra rounds up the top-grossing Android gaming applications, as current that day in the Android Market. This week's U.S. revenue charts see EA's Madden NFL 12 and Cooper Media's My Country leading today's rankings, as Restaurant Story and Tap Fish also report fast sales. These charts allow end users to see who is making the most money in the Android Market that day. It differs significantly from the Top Paid Games chart, which is ranked by sales, and therefore is dominated by lower-priced titles that sell more copies.

My Country (Free) 2. Madden NFL 12 ($6.99) 3. Live Holdem Poker Pro (Free) 4. Restaurant Story (Free) 5. Paradise Island (Free) 6. Fashion Story (Free) 7. Tap Fish (Free) 8. Bakery Story (Free) 9.
