IMVHO the 'Recognised Chart' Ranks are biased. If a Rank 1 receives 100 by ABC another institution should not be able to give out 257 for lower ranks. There are two solutions, either remove the Q lists of 1997 and 2003 or multiply the Rank Score of the other ten Recognised Charts by 3 to have an overall representative 'Recognised Chart' list. I prefer the later solution because the three Q lists have their merits. Instead of
Rumours lists twice here in Q (2003), on 18 and 48. Correct is Rank 48 for Rumours and Rank 18 for The Holy Bible by Manic Street Preachers. _________________ Credits: Edison for first recording, 1877 Mary had a little Lamb.

It makes a difference for the 'Recognised Chart', there are 13 charts not over 1'000. You are right for the high end of the overall chart where 'it makes very little difference' but on the low end of the overall 500 it is decisive for rankings and if an album includes or excludes in the Overall Chart. _________________ Credits: Edison for first recording, 1877 Mary had a little Lamb.

You are right, it does unbalance things a bit when Q have mutiple charts. We should probably just count the most recent Q chart and not all of them. I think we'll continue to list all of the Q charts (as people like looking at them) but the albums in the 'out of date' charts will have zero rank points awarded for those particular charts. We'll make this change very shortly...
We've also now corrected the multiple 'Rumours' entry that you spotted.
Thank you albummaster for correcting the Q rankings and to RFNAPLES for his agreement on this.
There is an error in the links,
c=213 2006 is most recent
c=214 2003 is older
c=9 1997 is oldest
There seems to be a negligible error of '1' in rank scores. I do not know if the bug was there before the changes to Q. From Q 1997, rank 100 should be 636 but displays 635, rank 99 should be 372, displays 371, rank 98 should be 488, displays 487.
Another error of '1' is in my "userstats", it says 1 comment, I did not comment yet and it lists two rating, I rated one. _________________ Credits: Edison for first recording, 1877 Mary had a little Lamb.

Hi GlennJolson, yes the links I posted were wrong but the correct charts were updated (the most recent chart contributes points and the others don't).
I don't understand what you mean by the error in rank scores. Taking your example, the 1997 chart of Q contributes zero points for all ranks. (Check out Otis Blue - http://www.besteveralbums.com/thechart.php?a=190 ranked 100 in that chart has zero points)
EDIT: just spotted what you mean. The total points that an album has received doesn't seem to add up. I'll check into it...
Thank you for your time to explain. _________________ Credits: Edison for first recording, 1877 Mary had a little Lamb.
