p2pnet.net Feature:- We started running a p2pnet File Share Top Ten last year. Based on statistics from p2p research firm BigChampagne, it lists the most-downloaded mp3s in the US.
BigChampagne’s home page gives a weekly Top Ten with both download and search activity.
Our BC FSTT lists only deal only with downloads.
Go here if you’d like a few words on how the stats are put together.
(Note: If a song is out of the charts for two weeks or more and returns, it’s designated ‘New’. ‘Return’ means it’s back after a week’s absense.

As usual the numbers are junk.
How does “Mariah Carey We Belong Together (unchanged)” have a different number of downloads in four different lists?
There was a time twenty years or so ago that I knew all the names of the artists in these kinds of lists. I’m glad I don’t now.
