Some details about how it was compiled.
Each girl get points for each scene according to act she perform and her performance in these acts.
Also she get some bonus points if scene was popular enough and sold well. For each year I made top-100 scenes, and also for every months top-10/top-20/top-40/top-50 according to number of LP/AV scenes in this month (top-10 or top-20 in early years, then more and more). Popularity takes into account not only most sold rating (the higher place the more points) but also scene price, because I think more expensive scenes should get more points even if they are a bit lower in sold rank. If this is a solo scene, girl get 100% "sells points", but the more girls were in scene the less sells points will get each of them (since we can't say if this scene is so popular because of this or that performer).
Sum of all points called "
points" in the table, sum of sells points - "
sells".
Star emoji in performer's card is a number of top-year-scenes she participate in.
As top-scenes I picked not exactly most sold but scenes with most points + performing by top-year-performers (with some exclusions of course). Scenes which were also great but didn't fit in solo/duo/group tops may appear in other top if they had some strong genre/fetish performance (f.e. mega-gangbang, or a lot of piss drinking, or some cum play, or double anal fisting, or squirt fountains, or rough stuff, or intense dvp).
Other principles:
- Each scene could be mentioned only one time
- From two/three part scenes could be mentioned only one part
- To make the top more diverse and represent more top-year-girls there were a limitation no more than 3 scenes for each girl in each category. That's why some very popular scenes were not represented (f.e. Veronica's scenes). But girl could have 3 top solo scenes + 3 top duo scenes + group scenes + f.e. 3 top piss scenes + 3 fisting etc.
But in general I tried to make this more various.
For statistics most notable is that I
preferred year of production over release date (when it was possible to define production year by code number, f.e. for Gonzo scenes), because often late releases couldn't compete with current releases and were not so popular, and often they have already retired girls and are useless for a girl in this late year but could help a lot in year of production. It's not a girl's fault that releases could be so late, so I think it's more fair to use production year over release year.
That's why many scenes, especially Gonzo, are representing not in the year they were released.
For the final ranking in different nominations I took into account not only overall girl's points, but also sells points, the number of top-year-scenes and sometimes her result in previous and even next years.
F.e. I doubted a lot who to pick as a winner in 2017, there were two strong candidates, and model A has significantly more points than model B, but I know that model B also had a great next year while model A hadn't, so I picked model B as a winner in 2017.
In "Best
Solo Performer" only solo scenes were taken into account, in "Best
Partner" - all scenes with other girl(s).
In "Best
Newcomer" also was important if girl appears late in the year and I physically couldn't have many scenes, and sometimes also how prospect she is (usually the younger the more prospect). If girl had a couple of scenes in previous year I consider her as newcomer in current year (f.e. Crystall Greenvelle in 2016).
"
Breakthrough of the year" - probably most complicated nomination. Here the most important is a girl's progress in comparison with her previous years. Also there could be only girls who were active not only this and previous year. It means we know a girl for a while but this year was breakthrough for her. Or she had some scenes a couple years ago, then disappeared, and know comes back with a breakthrough (f.e. Sandra Soul in 2019/2021).
In "
MILF of the Year" the older is a performer the better is for winning chances, in "
Teen" - vice versa.
In "Most
Underrated Girl of the Year" takes in account the difference between girl's points without bonus sells points and, actually, sells points.
