Quote - Again I'll say the ArtCharts are for entertainment purposes only. A lot of members enjoy checking them out and its a fun list for the ones who understand that it is for entertainment purposes only.

No one that complained about it ever got that distinction when it was posted on the Hot 20, why would you expect them to get it now that it was changed to the even more neutral Art Chart? It seems the whole idea of a list with statistical rankings are an anathema to them (Let's not even mention the expression about Lies, Damned Lies and Statistics to them)

As far as I can tell it's a much improved system since it's not just based on the favorites as some are complaining, it looks like a combination of the favorites, the comments and the viewings. Manipulating all three of those factors are a lot harder to do than just 1 vote.

There seems to be a lot more room for different artists in it, since I notice that prog went from regularly having 3 spots in the Hot 20 to being 23rd on the list, if a lot of same names are in the Art Charts, it's mostly because the talent and the cliques of the members haven't changed much.

At least the system has gotten rid of a lot of the flaws even if the attitudes about it haven't
