In news that’ll continue to befuddle some Train2Game students, Zumba Fitness continues its domination of the UK charts with its 8^th consecutive No.1 and 11^th top spot overall.

Zumba Fitness outsold the next four chart positions combined and its 11 weeks at the top put it joint 3^rd with FIFA: Road To The World Cup 98 and FIFA Soccer ’96 when it comes to time at No.1.

Dirt 3 jumps from No.6 to No. 2, while a very different vehicle based game, Cars 2, drops one to No.3  Just Dance 2: Extra Songs remains at No.4, while there’s also no change for LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean which remains at  No.5.

FIFA 11 moves up to No.6 in its 45^th week on sale, with Harry Potter: The Deathly Hallows Part a non-mover at No.7. Harry Potter fever also sees LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 re-enter the top ten at No.8.

Former No.1 – as reported by the Train2Game blog – L.A. Noire remains at No.9, while Call of Juarez: The Cartel drops to No. 10 in just its third week of release.

The UKIE Gfk Chart-Track All Formats Top 10 for the week ending 30th July 2011 is therefore as follows:

1. Zumba Fitness (505 Games)
2. Dirt 3 (Codemasters)
3. Cars 2 (Disney Interactive)
4. Just Dance 2: Extra Songs (Ubisoft)
5. LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean (Disney Interactive)
6. FIFA 11 (EA Sports)
7. Harry Potter: The Deathly Hallows Part 2 (EA Games)
8. LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 (Warner Bros. Interactive)
9. L.A. Noire (Rockstar)
10. Call of Juarez: The Cartel (Ubisoft)

It’s another slow week for game releases, with titles including Fruit Ninja Kinect.

So Train2Game, what are your thoughts on the continued dominance of Zumba Fitness? And with so many big games scheduled for release during October and November, why aren’t some being released over the summer?
