[somewhat OT] How do yes.com rankings work?

C

CTListener

I occasionally monitor various stations' playlists via yes.com. I notice that every song played gets a numerical ranking, and that there's a bar at the bottom of the page that allows registered users to rate the music. Is the ranking based strictly on airplay, or do the users' ratings figure into it as well? For WTIC-FM, for instance, the rankings seem to match up pretty well with the Billboard AC chart. For WDRC-FM, however, I've noticed rankings that seem dead-on ("Jet Airliner," which gets played a lot, is consistently top 10) and some that seem curious ("Grazin' in the Grass," one of DRC's dozen or so top-of-the-hour songs, was way down in the 200s last time I looked.).

Anyone have any more info on this? Also, are the rankings represent airplay/popularity for the day, the week, the month or what?
 
Plus the ranks are also affected by the number of votes a song gets by the listener.

Speaking of yes.com, anyone know what’s going on with the site? I have been unable to view any station’s playlist. It gives me a 400 Error.
