You could establish a "Hall of Fame" for those items which transcend some limit (time, views, votes, money). That allows these "all-time greats" to stay spotlighted without eclipsing the "rising stars".

Say you've got a list of the Top 5 Most Popular Whatevers. Is it
reasonable to fear that these top 5 will stay in the top 5, just
because they are positioned as the most popular?

If so, are there any best practices (or even anything you've used
successfully) for building an algorithm that will make sure the top 5
list isn't just a self-fulfilling prophecy?
