How It Works

Head-to-head matchups, ELO ratings, and per-country tracking — here's the science behind fame.

⚔️

1. Vote on Matchups

You're shown two celebrities and pick who you think is more famous. It's that simple — no accounts needed, just your gut feeling.

2. ELO Calculates Rankings

Every vote feeds into an ELO rating system — the same algorithm used in chess. Win against a higher-ranked celebrity and your rating jumps. Lose to a lower-ranked one and it drops.

3. Country Tracking

We track which country each voter is in. This lets us build per-country rankings alongside the global ones — revealing who is famous where.

4. Fame Gaps Emerge

By comparing country rankings to global rankings, we can spot who is overrated or underrated in each country. These fame gaps are some of the most interesting insights on the site.
