how do you calculate everything?? I wish to know, at least PM the formula, not numbers is u want to mantain in secret, but only the formula you use
There's no easy way for me to just explain the process or send you a simple formula. It would require probably an hour-long phone conversation to explain. It's VERY complicated. But, it's also very accurate, organized, and fair.
A couple different people mentioned wanting to know the math used for the chart so I posted the reply that I sent in a private message for anyone who wanted to know.

- I use no less than a Top 10 and no more than a Top 20
- Each song gets a rank based on their position (1 for 1st, 2 for 2nd, 25 for not on at all)
- Add up the total position for each song
This is where it gets complicated...
- Calculate the "best possible" scenario (100% technically in the end...but you will see it's possible to get over 100%). This number will always be the same as you will see.
- I take the number of countdowns (this week 65) and say that a perfect score is if a song is 1st in half of the countdowns and then is not on the 2nd half altogether.
- So, 65/2 = 32.5
- [32.5 * 1] <----- this is the 1st half with getting 1 (1st on a countdown)
- [32.5 * 25] <---- this is the 2nd half with getting 25 (not on a countdown)
- Add together = 845
- Divide by total countdowns (65) = 13.
So that means the theoretical best a song could do (within reason, since so many different people have so much different chart even 'Judas' wasn't even on 3/4 of the countdowns) end up with an average position of 13.
- Example (apply to all songs): This week when you add all the positions on the charts for 'Judas' it's 804.
- Divide by total countdowns (65) = Avg position of 12.36923
- Multiply this by 100 = 1236.923 (to get to a % form)
- Divide by "best scenario" or perfect score (13) = 95.14793
- Subtract from 200 (the technical best possible score if a song were 1st on every countdown which would never happen) = 104.85%
Make sense?
Now you could see how if a song were even 1st on 1 countdown and not on the rest it wouldn't even break the top 100 probably.

SPREAD THE WORD. This can be epic. If anyone has any questions/comments/tips/advice feel free to let me know about it. I'm not shy.
IMPORTANT: This time around, the countdown is composed entirely of your own personal/request countdown threads. This way no one has to worry about sending their countdowns to me, it will just be on your page. I will use the MOST RECENT update of your countdown when compiling the numbers. If you want a chart that reflects the entire past week instead, you need to write out at least a TOP 10 and have it posted NO LATER than 11:59EST every Wednesday.

The ATRL TOP 50 is a weekly chart of the most popular songs on ATRL as determined by all personal/request countdowns and any countdowns of at least a top 10 sent to me in a private message no later than 11:59 EST Wednesday night.
SPREAD THE WORD. This chart takes a lot of time, organization, and dedication. The more support behind it, the better chance it has of succeeding long term.
