I couldn't find an existing thread on this subject.  Does anyone know the definition/criteria for "most popular"? I noticed this morning that Neal Morse's 'Testimony' is displayed there, despite there only 
having been 3 reviews written for that album this year.

I'm confused almost 80% of times. When, usually, the top albums are also most popular, I can't see a single solid new review on them the whole week. So what makes it popular?

Perhaps this is another ad space M@x is selling?

Confused?  I thought this thread was about features of albums that are most popular...  LOL
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I believe you are right Moresy. My understanding is that it is based on the number of people viewing that album's page, not on reviews.
