1. A system comprising:

  • a memory having stored thereon computer executable components; and

    a processor configured to execute the following computer executable components stored in the memory;

    an analysis component that analyzes social network tags related to media content items belonging to respective parent populations based at least in part on user browsing information to determine user interest of the media content items, wherein the respective parent populations contain statistical information associated with the population of media content items, the statistical information comprising at least organization and interpretation of data within the population;

    a scoring component that assigns respective scores to the media content items based at least in part on a distribution of media content items corresponding to the respective parent populations according to the following;

    determine respective view counts for media content items of the parent populations;

    group respective view counts into buckets by powers of ten for the parent populations;

    identify respective buckets for parent populations having a maximum count value;

    determine respective geometric means of the respective buckets for parent populations having the maximum count value;

    determine respective offsets for the parent populations based upon respective differences between the geometric means; and

    determine the respective scores of media content items based upon the respective offsets of the parent populations; and

    a ranking component that ranks the media content items based at least in part on the respective scores; and

    an ordering component that aggregates the media content items belonging to the respective parent populations into an ordered list based at least in part on the ranking.
