It has now been seven weeks since a game other than Zumba Fitness has taken the top position in the United Kingdom video game sales chart and the prospects of having another number one in the coming months seem slim at best.

Zumba Fitness has managed to use a mix between dancing and physical exercises to attract a big number of players and deliver one of the biggest hits in years for publisher 505 Games.

Second place this week has gone to Cars 2, the movie tie-in that was created by Disney Interactive Studios, which has managed to jump up six places from eight.

Third place went to Call of Juarez: The Cartel, the new shooter from Ubisoft that takes the Western theme to modern times and to the troubled Mexico border, allowing the player to battle narco terrorists.

Just Dance 2: Extra Songs, a re-release of the dancing themed video game from Ubisoft, has managed to take fourth place in United Kingdom chart, which is pretty good considering that the game was languishing in eighteenth place.

The rest of the top ten is made up of pretty familiar faces, with LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean, another movie linked video game coming from Disney Interactive Studios, taking over fifth place, down one position over the previous week.

Dirt 3 from Codemasters, the rallying simulation that strives for realism, is in sixth, fending off a determined wizardly challenge from Harry Potter: The Deathly Hallows Part 2 from Electronic Arts, the third top ten game to be joined at the hip with a blockbuster movie.

FIFA 11 continues to perform superbly by taking over eight place in the chart while L.A. Noire, from Team Bondi and Rockstar, has managed to jump back at ninth place.

Call of Duty: Black Ops closes down the United Kingdom top ten while Dungeon Siege III is out of it.
