Power Rankings - An Idea To Rank Labels

I envision plenty of album reviews on this blog, but on thing that I think we can provide, that I haven't seen elsewhere, is a Power Ranking style feature on record labels. The methodology is still yet to be invented, fully, but I envision a two tiered system:

Releases from the well known (and even lesser known and/or fledgling) labels would be put through some kind of meat grinder formula, taking into account subjective and objective measures (# of quality releases, our review ratings, maybe even some outside influence from other rating sites?). The end result should give us a Top-10 or Top-25 style ranking, that we can update every month or so. It should be real interesting, over time.

I'd say we'll test the method out a bit, the last couple of months of 2009, and then roll it out officially in 2010.
