Is there a way to see additional "similar charts" (i.e., more than the five listed after a chart)? In my opinion this is one of the site's best features for music discovery and it would be great to view more than the top five.

it's only arbitrarily limited to five at the moment, but could be increased as part of a future site update (not possible at moment)

I think it would be great if it also automatically eliminated your own charts from the similar charts lists.

Agreed. I already know I have similar music taste to myself.

Since the site re-design, the number of similar charts increased from 5 to 10. However, that hasn't applied to everyone's. For example, mine still only lists 5 similar charts...but they're all listed twice. And look at this one:

https://www.besteveralbums.com/thechart.php?c=52201

It shows two similar charts listed 4-5 times.

Is there a fix for this?

Apologies, I'll check into that Embarassed

EDIT: Just running an update now (may take a couple of days before it trickles through to the main site). I've temporarily removed the feature but will add back once processing has finished to clean up the lists...
EDIT 2: Still updating in the background (apologies for the delay - not forgotten)...
EDIT 3: Still updating in the background - need more powerful servers Wink ...

8 similar charts on my overall are simply other users' custom charts. I prefer if similar charts were those of other users' overalls. Could there be a way to change that? Or allow us to filter them?

The site could definitely look at adding some filters or increase the number of listed charts (currently listed in order of similarity). Useful as well to see other chart types e.g. decade charts masquerading as overall etc so default filter/user setting might be right way of doing this.
