For years, we've included the "Trending Titles" in our bi-weekly Criticker Newsletter... and we've always planned on incorporating this concept into the website. But now, we've finally done it!
Not only can you see the overall top twenty, but you can also filter on things like genre, country and Film vs. TV Series.
But what do these colorful up-and-down numbers mean? We're all about transparency here at Criticker, so we'll tell you exactly how it's all calculated:
Every Monday at 8am GMT, we count up the number of ratings that every title in the database has received in the the past 30 days. Using that information, we can organize lists of which titles are the most popular right now. And we compare the lists to how they looked last week, in order to determine whether a title has moved up or down... or is new into the list.
If you're a Criticker Sponsor, you get to see the Top 50 trending titles, instead of just the top 20! This is another great reason to consider supporting the site! Not only will you enjoy an ads-free version, but you'll gain access to all sorts of features and stats, along with the knowledge that you're helping your favorite website survive. (Criticker is your favorite website right?)
Don't forget, these trending stats will update every week on Monday morning, so make sure to check back often to see what the hottest titles at Criticker are!
