Ranker.com is a website that features polls on entertainment, brands, sports, food, and culture. Ranker claims to be one of the largest databases of opinions, with more than 1 billion votes gathered on over millions of subjective voters. Ranker has hundreds of thousands of lists of opinions.[2]

These lists have been referenced as a source for many pop-culture, trade, and tech publications, including TV and radio.[3][4] Ranker collects individual user votes and track them across various lists, which purports to show correlations between interests across pop culture.[5]
