How do the 6,000 list and the 10,000 list differ?

Post by huheo123412 »

Hi everyone,

although it seemed pretty unlikely to me, I wasn't able to find an answer to this question, so here goes:
What's the difference between the Top Songs of All Time list with 10,000 entries and the Top 6000 Songs of All Time list?
http://www.acclaimedmusic.net/year/alltime_songs.htm

and

http://www.acclaimedmusic.net/Current/1948-02s.htm

respectively.

I know they're not the same because I checked, with many songs in a different position or missing from the 6000 list (ones with a rank better than 6001, obviously).
So, why is it that there are two lists? What's the difference in calculation, and which one do you consider "better"?

I don't understand

Are you saying they're the same list but one is just more up-to-date? Why's one 4000 songs shorter then?

Because the most recent update expanded the size of the list.

Now I have changed the "Current" folder to "150822" (YYMMDD).

For those who are curious about old updates, there are also these folders, with hundreds of pages within each:

061024
070731
091108
101128
111110
