- 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.
