SCP Ratings: The Week's Top 20 Scoops

(SCOOP ADVISORY: Note To Scoop Today subscribers: We have had a handful of replies from people suggesting they want only one Scoop ratings bulletin daily.

We are still interested in feedback on this service. Scoop Today subscribers will in the meantime receive the morning bulletin - Yesterday's Top 20 - plus an afternoon Scoop Today Bulletin and a Weekly Top 20 on Friday.
