It's part of the grading system that I use for my chart. Each week, the #30 is given 1 point, the #29 2 points, all the way up to the #1 which gets 30 points.

Then (for years when my chart is a top 30) 80 points gets you Silver, 160 points gets you Gold, and 250 points gets you Platinum. About 125 songs get Silver each year, so Silver would mean the song stands a decent chance of being in my year-end top 100, a Gold song would make the top 50, and a Platinum song would probably be in the top 10.

I believe the record score is 467, set by 'Knights Of Cydonia' (Muse) during 2006-07.
