Reputability could be a separate requirement, but the popularity of a torrent has nothing to do with the source. Popularity could only be based on how many seeders and leechers there are for a particular torrent. Another issue I have is that I can't see any particular reason why you would _need_ to tag against this particular 'release'. I personally would want the songs tagged with 'real' data. The list as it is would only be useful to me as a playlist. Filling the album tags with ''Billboards Top 'whatever'" serves no practical purpose and the release year could only (correctly) be given as the year the torrent was compiled which again serves no useful purpose. IMHO, MusicBrainz should only store accurate information, when someone tags tracks with MusicBrainz they should only get useful information, not tags from some list that is deemed to be 'popular' and authoritative by a few autoeditors.
