505 Games’ Zumba Fitness saw a 16 per cent sales increase, which was more than enough to secure its eighth successive week at the top and its 11th week at No.1 in total.

11 weeks makes Zumba the joint third most successful chart title, but has some way to go to beat Wii Fit’s 16 weeks at No.1 and Who Wants to be a Millionaire’s 18 weeks.

Zumba sales were more than the combined total of games placed two to five: DiRT 3, Cars 2, Just Dance 2: Extra Songs and LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean.

Ubisoft’s Call of Juarez: The Cartel slipped seven places to No.10, taking a 51 per cent sales dip. Portal 2 was the week’s big mover, up from No.40 to No.12.
