ASP.NET MVC route doesn't work

I have 2 different routes:

context.MapRoute(
    "zyzzyva_default",
    "{urlTitle}",
    new { area = "zyzzyva", action = "Index", controller = "Home", urlTitle = UrlParameter.Optional }
);

and second:

context.MapRoute(
    "Vip_default_vip_thankyou",
    "{partnername}-vip-thank-you",
    new { controller = "Vip", action = "ThankYou", partnername = "" },
    new string[] { "Web.Areas.Vip.Controllers" }
);

When I go to mydomain.com/aaaa-vip-thank-you it should use the second route, but I don't understand why it uses the first route instead.

The first route is too general.

Routing works with first match found in order they were registered.

Change order of mapping.

context.MapRoute(
    "Vip_default_vip_thankyou",
    "{partnername}-vip-thank-you",
    new { controller = "Vip", action = "ThankYou", partnername = "" },
    new string[] { "Web.Areas.Vip.Controllers" }
);

context.MapRoute(
    "zyzzyva_default",
    "{urlTitle}",
    new { area = "zyzzyva", action = "Index", controller = "Home",urlTitle = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
