Zumba Fitness is unstoppable in eighth week atop UK charts

By Alexander Sliwinski

Zumba Fitness. Its name should cause perspiration, an elevated heart rate and total fear in any competitor on Chart-Track's UK all formats chart. In its eighth week in the top spot, the game saw a 16 percent increase in sales and outsold the next four titles combined. Those four consist of Dirt 3, Cars 2, Just Dance 2: Extra Songs and Lego Pirates of the Caribbean.

Although Zumba's eight week run is... impressive? Yeah, let's say impressive. It still has a long way to go before defeating Who Wants To Be A Millionaire's 18 weeks and Wii Fit's 16-week reign.

No new releases entered the Top 40 last week. Now, to find a crowbar to help detach this collective facepalm.

  1. Zumba Fitness
  2. Dirt 3
  3. Cars 2
  4. Just Dance 2: Extra Songs
