The surprise hit of 2011 has continued to deliver as 505 Games’ popular sports title Zumba Fitness has claimed its fourth No.1 on the trot in the UKIE Gfk Chart-Track All Formats Top 40.
It’s its seventh No.1 in total since the Wii version was released in Chart-Track’s 13th week of the year.
The triumph comes amidst a slow news week as gaming enters the barren summer months. Retail price promotions on Codemasters’ Dirt 3 see it climb five places to second while Activision’s Transformers: Dark of the Moon is also upwardly mobile, climbing three places to third.
With Wimbledon fever on the wane the big two tennis titles – Sega’s Virtua Tennis 4 and 2K Games’ Top Spin 4 both slip down the Top Ten.
