Zumba Fitness, the video game from 505 Games that combines strenuous exercise routines with dance moves, has managed the rather surprising feat of holding on to the United Kingdom number one position in the video game sales charts.

The fitness-based game has taken advantage of a lull in the big name releases to go on top, and it will probably face a tough challenge next week from the likes of the new Mortal Kombat and SOCOM 4.

Fighting hard with their lightsabers, the Jedi of LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars from LucasArts, has managed to climb up one spot in the chart, going from third to second, while the Nanosuit wearing Crysis 2 first-person shooter proved no match for it and went down to third position.

FIFA 11, the football simulation game from EA Sports which launched in the fall of 2010, has managed to make a strong combat and reach fourth position in the video game chart after exiting the top ten last week, probably because fans become more interested in the sport as the conclusion of the Premier League draws near.

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12: The Masters from EA Sports is performing very well for a golf simulation and has dropped one place from launch date, going from fourth to fifth.

Homefront, the first-person shooter from publisher THQ that drew largely negative reviews on launch, has managed to stand still in sixth place.

The two twin releases of Pokemon, Black and White, have managed to occupy seventh and eighth place in the United Kingdom video games sales charts, both climbing up one place since last week.

Call of Duty: Black Ops, the best seller FPS of 2010, has managed to return to the top ten in ninth position while the racing simulation Need for Speed: Shift 2 Unleashed, from EA Games and Slightly Mad Studios, closes down the chart.
