Best scoring twenty
A top twenty is a ranking of the twenty highest-performing items in a category, most commonly songs on music charts: The single cracked the top twenty.
The phrase works as both noun and adjective: a top-twenty hit, top-twenty rankings.
Similar constructions work with other numbers—top ten, top forty, top one hundred—but top twenty and top ten are the most established.
