You'll need to keep Warframe and War Thunder out of the equation as they inhabit the niche of f2p that gets CONSTANT updates. Plus they both appeal to their markets even with grind, Warframe with power simulator and War Thunder with military enthusiasts.
GTA V, CS:GO 2 also need to be discounted as they are legacy games with a thriving player base, you know what you'll get when you play and you know there's a ton of players there so you aren't buying a dead game.
EA sports games.......I got no defence other than they are gambling addicts with how EA monatises those games...
The standouts really are BG3 and Lethal Company. BG3 getting high praise, been waited on for years and didn't turn into crap (at least till act 3) explains this one. Lethal Company might show how big the influence of simple game design as well as streamers have on the gaming market considering how much this game is steamed so could be another Among Us example.
Multiplayer, uh, stuff is the industry. Stuff like BG3 and Total War just break into the tops as single player games every now and then. A really popular single player title will hit the leaderboard. Otherwise it's whatever people can download to waste time for cheap/free.
