I think Shardz has hit on something.
As is, I imagine that the Art Charts are self-perpetuating the current rankings. Bascially, If prog (just to pull a name I know) gets onto the chart, those who view the charts will click on his image(s) and increase whatever is used to determine who gets onto the charts, which means next week, prog will still be there, and more people will click on his image(s), and over, and over, ad infintum.
And the more prolific the artist, the greater the chance of them showing up on the Art Charts, even if they're work isn't as good as that of someone who hasn't posted half as many images.
I only checked the old Hot 20 once in a blue moon, and the same goes for the Art Charts, so to me it's a completely useless feature.
And it does nothing to help new members see what can be achieved by those who don't make the Art Chart listing, but still have phenomenal artwork.
But that's just me 2 Lincolns.
