Zumba Fitness has managed to make it two weeks at the top of the United Kingdom video games chart taking advantage of the empty space in most publisher's launch schedule which beings at the end of June and ends near the beginning of September, when titles like Madden NFL 12 are set to disturb sleeping charts.

Zumba Fitness is published by 505 Games in the United Kingdom and has managed to capture the casual and fitness oriented public with its mix of traditional exercises and music elements.

The game already has a sequel in development which might top the chart at the same time next year.

Second place in the United Kindom chart has been taken over by LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean from Disney Interactive Studios, which managed to gain three places coming from fifth.

L.A. Noire, the combination between open world game and adventure from Team Bondi and Rockstar Games, has managed to take over the third place in the chart, coming down one from second, while F.E.A.R. 3, from Day 1 Studios and Warner Bros Interactive, has also gone down one place to reach fourth.

The popularity of the Wimbledon tennis tournament and the excitement brought in by its finals had revived the sleeping Virtua Tennis 4 from SEGA, which managed to come from twentieth place and land in fifth while the popularity of the movie from Michael Bay has also done wonders for the sales numbers of Transformers: Dark of the Moon from Activision, which now sits in sixth place coming from outside the top ten.

Dirt 3 from Codemasters sits in seventh place while Top Spin 4 is sharing some of the tennis excitement in eight place.

The last two places in the top ten are occupied by Brink, the multiplayer-focused shooter, and FIFA 11, which refuses to disappear before its newer brother comes along.
