"You again?" Question for Fri, Mar 4, 2011.

2011 set the record with 27 X this year. The previous record holder was 2003 with 24. Last year we had 19 X.

There is almost unanimous agreement that X are inferior in quality and content. It is a rare event when X surpasses Y. But even then year after year, we see several X being churned out. Brand recognition, previous success etc are obviously the factors that make X so popular. The trend has also caught on India recently with several X coming in 2011 alone.
