There is only four options under "Only show entries when the Song or a song from the Artist/Album has been played in the last: disabled, week, month, 24 hours."

How about three more options like 3 months, 6 months and year.

I agree, I really like the popularity stats but think so much more could be done!

How about tracking movements of popularity. eg. If drop down was month then compare last month with month before and provide "Up 5" or "Down 16" next to the item.

With these extra stats you could also easily provide a biggest movers list.

Also, why can't you page the songs like you can the artists?

Extra info like the number of times played (in the selected period) would also be neat.

And what about being able to filter the lists by Genre or Year...

Just some ideas.

Ah, really good suggestions. Especially the one about tracking movements. Never thought about it before, but it would be a terrific feature! I think these adjustments along with my suggested "real pick count" setting and the Pirk skin would make a good basis for a more interesting homeview.

Thanks fishy,

Look at most charts and you get the last chart position eg.

They also provide the number of weeks in the top 40 and whether its a new entry. I guess all this is possible in ej so long as you are dealing with a fixed number of songs and can get or store stats for more than one period.
