Thanks for the help. I'm not sure I fully understand your query, but I dont think that would work because my popularity variable basically ranges from 1 to ~1.5 million (where a product with popularity 1 is the best selling product and a popularity with 1.5 million is the worst selling product). Its similar to an Amazon sales rank if you're familiar with that.
Correct me if i'm misunderstanding what you're suggesting though.
