I've identified the following overall or decade member charts with 10 or more entries where EVERY entry is from the same year:

ChartID 1100 (10 entries)
ChartID 1857 (15 entries)
ChartID 2171 (13 entries)
ChartID 2295 (10 entries)
ChartID 2535 (10 entries)
ChartID 2549 (20 entries)
ChartID 2552 (10 entries)
ChartID 2558 (15 entries)
ChartID 2609 (26 entries)
ChartID 3044 (20 entries)
ChartID 3130 (47 entries)
ChartID 3131 (20 entries)
ChartID 3133 (20 entries)
ChartID 3253 (12 entries)
ChartID 3289 (20 entries)
ChartID 3313 (50 entries)
ChartID 3488 (30 entries)
ChartID 3543 (17 entries)
ChartID 3567 (20 entries)
ChartID 3584 (25 entries)
ChartID 3795 (40 entries)
ChartID 4009 (10 entries)
ChartID 4012 (10 entries)
ChartID 4129 (10 entries)
ChartID 4206 (10 entries)
ChartID 4509 (10 entries)
ChartID 5081 (10 entries)
ChartID 5084 (15 entries)
ChartID 6533 (16 entries)
ChartID 6802 (40 entries)
ChartID 6931 (20 entries)
ChartID 7875 (38 entries)
ChartID 8237 (25 entries)
ChartID 8964 (37 entries)
ChartID 9182 (20 entries)
ChartID 9183 (10 entries)
ChartID 9817 (10 entries)
ChartID 11314 (10 entries)
ChartID 11433 (20 entries)
ChartID 11521 (20 entries)
ChartID 11751 (17 entries)
ChartID 11840 (10 entries)
ChartID 11865 (32 entries)
ChartID 12155 (15 entries)
ChartID 12336 (12 entries)

In the site update I'm currently working on, these types of chart will no longer count towards the overall rankings (people using their overall or decade chart as a year chart which is distorting the overall position because of the extra rank points that an overall chart has compared to a year chart).

I'm also going to be implementing a change so that overall charts with less than ten entries no longer count towards the rankings. These charts are typically used by people who sign up to game the site, or are just partly finished & abandoned (suggested many times before e.g. http://www.besteveralbums.com/phpBB2/vi...13#54613).

I think making these changes could really help to improve the quality of the rankings & make the site more robust.

Sweet, sounds great, this should definitely lead to improvements in the rankings and I guess it'll help the site in general, thanks for this albummaster, great work! Applause

Love it.



One question, what about charts dominated by one artist? I've seen charts with up to 25 albums from the same artist.

... guess I've seen 48 then?


Point is, they should probably be treated same as custom charts.

Something like that is probably the user's custom chart, though they can't make custom charts yet, so they have it as their main chart. I sort of get what the user is doing, but I agree that it would probably be better not to include charts like this in the overall.

That being said, I've seen user charts with 10 Beatles albums in them that are perfectly legitimate charts, so where does the line get drawn?

Maybe if their chart is over 25% one artist?
