itunes_popular.rb

# based on something zenspider wrote. I hacked to add:
# 1. tracks that don't have ratings
# 2. take the number of tracks into account for the album's score (note to self: should instead take into account the length)
# 3. take an 'age' argument to only show stuff added in the last x weeks, f.e.: itunes-popular 12 52 shows the top twelve albums from the last fifty-two weeks
