The Art Charts are definitely not anything like the Hot20, but 20 times worse. If you haven't noticed, the Artist list hasn't changed all that much since it started. So it will always be the same people in different order every week? How is this different from the Hot20 exactly when the results are so similar? Instead of voting for an image, you simply add it as a favorite and shazam!
This system would also favor daily and/or frequent posting; more images in the gallery, more exposure, more favorites. I do see some artists who don't post frequently and who are in the Top100 and extremely popular....my guess is that stat is generated from new users who just stumbled upon the Top100 and are feeling the community out. I could go on and on about this subject, but just like the Hot20 issue, it's terribly important to label and rate us as numbers instead of individuals...and it's quite sad, once again. Nobody likes redundancy, and the charts are nothing less than that. Just my opinion, but it certainly would be great to not have a rating system whatsoever! The only thing I really like about the Art Charts is the background color adheres to my CSS styles, but I don't see a point in visiting a page that never seems to change much.
