It is better to keep all these lists together, so from now on I will post all Modern skin download stats in this thread.

Previous lists:

• 1001Skins Top 20 Modern Skins
• Winaero Top 20 Modern Skins
• Winamp Modern top 20 at DeviantArt

See also:

Now that it is getting slower and slower, let's go back in time when download numbers soared to millions.

Although you can no longer browse skins at Winamp.com, the Wayback Machine has archived the stats for us. Most of these skins are still available at the Nullsoft archive but since it is blacklisted by Google Safe Browsing, alternate download links are also given.

These were the top 20 most downloaded Modern skins at Skin Consortium on September 7, 2017 when downloads were already broken but the skin pages were still accessible.

Vortex is exluded from the list, because it crashes recent versions of Winamp (v5.551 or later).

It is 21 because I just could not leave out Nitrous Audio CTI Glass.
