Rankings are based on an ELO rating system. Every head-to-head matchup vote adjusts both celebrities' ratings — winning against someone ranked higher gives a bigger boost.

ELO is a rating system originally designed for chess. It calculates relative skill (or in our case, fame) based on head-to-head outcomes. The bigger the upset, the bigger the rating change.

Global rankings use all votes worldwide. Country rankings only use votes from people in that specific country — so you can see who is famous specifically in France vs. the United States, for example.

If a celebrity ranks much higher in a country than globally, they're 'overrated' there — meaning they're more famous locally than worldwide. 'Underrated' means the opposite: globally famous but less known in that country.

Yes! Voting is completely anonymous. We track your country from your browser to build per-country rankings, but you don't need to sign up.

We're always adding new celebrities. If someone is missing, keep voting — the more data we have, the better the rankings get.

Rankings update in real-time with every vote. There's no delay — your vote immediately affects the ELO ratings.
