Thanks for pointing out, the tooltip was out of date and has now been corrected.

The minimum ratings were changed to 20 during this month's site update:

Increased the minimum number of ratings for an item to qualify for the top-rated charts to 20. Original thread (from Jabapac).

I just noted the different ratings, but didn't catch anything about it in the March update. What's going on?

I glanced at the help mouse-over that explains how each chart is rated. it still says that the algorithm uses a minimum of 10 entrees to qualify as a top-rated chart. I believe it's 20 now or whatever so that help text might have to change.

EDIT: Just to be specific. I found the oversight on my personal top 100 albums page. The mouse-over icon I mentioned is to the right of the average rating, number of stars and icon that brings up a bar graph of the # of each rating received.

I strive to see my chart in the top ten again! Now I have something to strive towards 😄

Love,
