Apologies for the difficulty in finding this information. The rank score for a greatest album chart gets decayed over a 10 year period from when a chart was last updated (eventually going to zero if a chart hasn't been updated for 10 years or more). This doesn't apply to year or decade charts as they cover discrete periods.

How is Rank Score calculated?

I'm sure this is answered somewhere, but the forum search tool isn't super useful and I figured it would just be better to ask here than sort through the 500 pages of results I get when I put that question into the search filter.

For instance, I've seen people (like me!) who have albums listed at #1 in their overall chart, where the rank score assigned to that album is less than 100, but rather a weird, arbitrary seeming number like 87. How does this happen? I'm thinking that it's not coincidence that my overall chart has a rating of 87, so is rank score multiplied by (1/chart score)?
