Assuming that this list is meant to be objective, something is definitely amiss with the algorithm used to calculate this figure. I have been paying attention, and not knocking any of these fine lessons, but your most popular lessons that you list each month are definitely not always those by criteria of most used, by any reasonable criteria I can see. For example, no lesson has had more popularity than Pentatonic Solo by Marcus S. It had 60-70 at a time for awhile, and even now has 15. None on your list have had the average per day near that lesson, I am sure of that. And since most of them were released after Pentatonic Solo, they could not have more cumulative for the month of April. The list makes no sense mathematically by any criteria I can think of.

Not that they are not fine lessons, but I think you need to revisit with your programmers how this is calculated.


edit: I was considering the possibility you calculate this on an average number of users basis. That in itself would NOT be a fair measure anyway, as the advantage would be skewed towards those released late in the month (they of course peak the first few days in number of users). But the Rock Solo lesson was released early, so I doubt such an algorithm would have captured that one if this were your method of calculation.
