EA's FIFA 12 claimed the top spot in the UK software sales charts last week, meaning it has been at number one for five consecutive weeks, and seven weeks overall. For the week ended January 21, and according to data from tracking firm Chart-Track, the title has now sold more than any sports game in the UK to date. Ubisoft's Rayman Origins entered the charts, claiming the number nine spot thanks to a series of price promotions, and forcing Bethesda's Rage down to number ten. Zumba Fitness continued to outsell its sequel Zumba Fitness 2, with the titles at numbers six and eight respectively. Elsewhere, the usual big-sellers hung around the top ten, including The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Just Dance 3, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Battlefield 3.
