Quite simple really. The ranking of an artist is directly proportional to the lack of artistic creativy and the commercial sell-out potential of an artist. How else to explain the Korn's, Limp Bizkits, Britney Spears, Ricky Martin's at the top of the charts whilst our aor/hard rock heroes languish in the nether regions? If there was any justice bands like Danger Danger and Heartland would be at the top of the list.
Naturally, I'm being cynical as the ratings are based on overall sales.KAOS FAN.
