Zumba beats Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in UK chart

Part two of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows might be big at the cinema but the videogame crashed 7th place it's opening week in the UK chart.

For the fifth week running Zumba Fitness is strangling the top spot for all its worth. Transformers: Dark of the Moon is 2nd, with DiRT 3 rallying 3rd.


Can nothing stop the Nintendo Wii goliath that is Zumba Fitness? 90 percent of the games sales are for the Wii while 8 percent go to Xbox 360, and PS3 languishes with 2 percent. Seriously are there that many people dancing themselves into shape?

EA Bright Light's Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part Two entered the chart with a disappointing whimper in 7th place, which is reportedly the worst performance for a Harry Potter game throughout the entire series.

LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean and LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars took 5th and 6th respectively. EA Sports Active 2 took 8th. Amusingly, LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 has re-entered the top 20 thanks to the latest film's release.

Below is the UK all format chart for the week ending July 16th.

What a woeful lineup for the Top 10, but then nothing in the Top 20 gets my interest.
