This Criteria for TOP ACTOR / ACTRESS in the DOWN THE YEAR SECTION is as follow
Here everything is taken into account to show the actual popularity. It takes into account the box-office as well as other factors like, genre, the makers, the setup, release period, the real effect of that film on a career and everything else contributing to the position of an artist. The point system works on a yearly basis and a film released towards the end of the year will be effective in the following year. There will be a years when an artist will be down on points despite openings and success but this will be because the system will see the year not as strong as the previous unless the build up to a big year is strong. This is basically our system showing how popular an artiste was and when. There are more artistes tracked and if success is consistent for years they will show up on the charts.
An artiste is tracked when they meet with box-office stardom and until they phase out. A popular artiste may not have releases but the stardom does not fall away overnight so there will be people in the charts despite no releases.
An actor going below 500 is seen as phase out and the the actress level is 350. Only 30 years maximum will be applied as nobody lasts that long as a real box office star. The same methods are applied to actors and actresses and in some years it could mean an actress having as much or even more popularity than an actor.
