Wii Fit leaps to top of UK chart

Sporty top 40 inside.

Wii Fit has used replenished stocks to leap to the top of the UK charts.

It beat off competition from LEGO Indiana Jones in two and Super Smash Bros. Brawl in three.

Top Spin 3 climbed slightly this week to take four, and finished just ahead of Battlefield: Bad Company at five.

The sporty theme continued below; Big Beach Sports at six, Wii Play at seven, Beijing Olympics at eight, and could-be-sporty Kung Fu Panda at nine.

Mario & Sonic at the Olympics rounded off the list at 10.

The only new entry this week is Sports Party at 29 - a Wii outing from Ubisoft. WALL-E managed to break its way into the chart at 16 after its second week on sale.

Tumblers this week are The Bourne Conspiracy sliding from 10 to 21, Guitar Hero: Aerosmith down from 17 to 25, and Buzz! Quiz TV dropping from 22 to 31.
