How the Glamour Girls Hot 100 Is Compiled

Glamour girls earn points for each biweekly chart in the following categories:

1)     Movies: The current Top 60 at the box office; films that recently left theaters; and pictures scheduled for release in the coming weeks.  Note that a glamorous role in a mid-level film can earn more points than a bland role in a bigger hit.  Also, critical acclaim can earn the same credit as box office dollars.

2)     Magazines: Approximately 150 U.S. and international publications were included in the current survey.  Magazines on newsstands during the survey period count most heavily; recent magazines of the previous month or two count at half value.  Covers earn more points than inside features; top-level magazines (Playboy, Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, etc.) are accorded higher point totals than others; nude or semi-nude layouts get extra credit.  Newspapers (most notably the London Sun and USA Today) are also included in this category.

3)     TV: What’s on the tube during the two-week survey period, including not only series but movies airing on the networks and appearances in late-night talk shows; Nielsen ratings taken into consideration.

4)     Internet: The major factor in this category is the Lycos Top 50, a weekly chart measuring the most-searched items through the Lycos search engine, including many glamour girls.  Selected Web sites are also included, most notably the Playboy Cyber Club, Gateway to Eden, Mystique, Versus Online, IGN for Men, Model Times, and others.  Additional sites will be rotated in future surveys.

5)     Music: The Billboard singles and album charts; MTV and VH-1 music video rankings as published in Billboard; European and international charts.

6)     Home Video: The Billboard video sales, video rentals, and DVD sales charts.  This category carries about half the weight of the above “Big Five.”

7)     Sports: Glamorous gals who earn athletic achievements during the survey period; during non-Olympic periods, this is usually a low-value category.

8)     Other: Broadway; books.  Usually not a factor.

9)     Beauty and Sex Appeal: Finally, my personal evaluations of the ladies, based on their recent media appearances.  Women who do not earn significant points in the above 8 categories aren’t eligible here.
