Greatest Hits Song Ratings

[infinitejester]

I don't know if this was ever mentioned before, but I had an idea of sorts.

Problem I've noticed:
Sometimes the band's best tracks (highest ranked) are often repeated due to Greatest Hits albums.

Example:
Queen. Bohemian Rhapsody is the 1,2 and 3rd highest ranked song by Queen, according to the way the layout works at the moment.

Possible idea:
I don't know if it's possible, but the songs on a Greatest Hits album would be linked to the songs from their respective albums, so any rating of the song will be counted just once.

Yay? Nay? Something like that? Doable?

If this is doable then I second it. A Day In The Life is in the top 100 songs list 2 or 3 times.

Edit: I checked, and it is in fact in the top 100 3 times.

An idea has been suggested to be able to filter the top rated songs to include/exclude songs on greatest hits albums, this would then give you a clean list without having the issue of having to link thousands of songs to their original albums which might also be prone to error due to different versions of the same song etc (much more doable just to have a filter).

Ah yes a filter. Much more doable. I realized as i was typing that suggestion that going back and linking the songs all togethet would be a huge pain.
