The values in the popularimeter tag are calculated from the rating and
the playcount.
You can see the code here:
http://git.gnome.org/browse/banshee/tree/src/Core/Banshee.Core/Banshee.Streaming/StreamRatingTagger.cs

So it looks like for your examples the two tracks have a 5 star
rating, but the play count seems wrong.
Please run Banshee in debug mode (run "banshee --debug") to see the
logs showing what Banshee is storing. If there's something wrong,
please file a bug with those logs:
