***Servers for this game were closed down April 13th, 2012 but have been temporarily reinstated. It is unclear how long this will last so quickly finish the online achievements like this one now while you have another chance!***

Original solution - To get this achievement as fast as possible, follow these steps:

1. Create a 1 or 2 second clip (the shorter it is, the less time it takes to download) and share it.

2. Make a fake Silver or Gold account and add it to your real account's friends list.

3. Sign in to your fake account and view your friend's clips.

4. When the clip is finished downloading but before it actually starts playing, go to the Xbox guide and sign out. You should now be booted back to the Burnout starting screen.

5. Simply sign back in with your second account and repeat until your real account's clip is in the top 20.

6. After you're there, sign in with your real account and go to the top 20 clips. *You should now unlock your achievement!

And remember, the leaderboards for the top 20 reset every month on the 25th. If you're going to try and get this achievement, you'll save a lot of time doing it right after they reset.

Nice solution! I did it on the 26th of this month and only needed 5 downloads to get in the top 20.

By Elem3ntal80 on 27 Jul 2009 00:16

worked like a charm! did this on the 25th and had to download once to get in top 20. awesome, thank you so much

By cwing302 on 27 Aug 2009 04:36

Confirming this still works...did it today (29th) and only had to do 8 downloads to make it to #8 on the top 20!! Thx

By pyr0lyZer on 30 Oct 2009 01:34

yeah.. works like charm. I like! :>
Need 5 Downloads for top 20. at the 28.

By SuperTaco83 on 28 Jan 2010 00:20

Worked Great!!!!!!!!!!!! Need 5 downloads for top 20 on the 30th thanks

By StonedkillPhish on 01 Jul 2010 08:56

Needed 1 download on the 26th so it still works. Do note that the leaderboards reset on the 26th but perhaps that's due to my time zone, which is Central European Time ( GMT +1 )

By DaShAg on 26 Oct 2010 07:19

I can confirm this works 26/01/12 - just 2 downloads needed.

By TickTockRob on 26 Jan 2012 23:41

Worked like a charm, thank you very much for the solution, thumbs up

By Tasty Pastry on 04 Mar 2011 21:49

Just to add, please DELETE your videos after getting the achievement, cause this will make the process for other people easier until the servers go down!

By o0ArA0o on 26 Mar 2012 02:57

i got it today with your great solution. thank you very much. best way to do this. i downloaded it 9 times at 02/09/12

By ThomsenWilli on 02 Sep 2012 17:39

Confirmed, is still working. Thanks!

By tajbender on 27 Nov 2010 14:43

^^Any word as to why or if they're going to be reset in the near future?

By iiM SO N1NJA on 14 Jan 2011 07:41

By wheatrich on 26 Jan 2011 22:02

By snorlax789 on 26 Feb 2011 00:14

Perfect, got this achievement last night with 6 downloads. When i got the game i figured i'd never get this one.... big thumbs up!!

By Leroy I1981I on 28 Feb 2011 09:06

Yep still works on March 4th 11'

By Fox1278 on 04 Mar 2011 16:27

Works as of April 28th 2011

By Dimmock on 29 Apr 2011 18:25

Just Confirmed May 29 2011, 8 DL's to put me in the top 5 ^_^ Big Thumbs UP!!!

By KillerGreenBud3 on 29 May 2011 20:34

Nice solution. One tip that you can add is it doesn't matter if you view the clip when downloading with the second account. I got distracted nearing my last download and it played the clip but it kept incrementing the counter for the subsequent ones. It just saves time if you don't view the clip.

By LearFool on 13 Jun 2011 18:36

Still working in September 2011 - requiring 4 views for the top 20.

By Xexyz on 28 Sep 2011 13:34

Thanks for the tip. Worked like a charm.
Confirmed just got my clip in the top 20 clips and today is the 26th.

By Ripzoner on 26 Oct 2011 04:36

still works: 01/23/12

By bkz41 on 23 Jan 2012 10:09

Gonna be a rush for this one now with the servers going offline next month.

By InundatedDad on 15 Mar 2012 00:13

View friends clip dont save it. After it is 100% downloaded and is loading eject the disc and reinsert or dash board. I got a friend loggin off and on 25 times in a row and its not needed. Dont watch the clip either, it may screw up this little glitch. Big thumbs up.

By troyoy on 15 Mar 2012 00:58

Eject the disc before it starts playing. As of March 15th you are gonna need 25 views to get in the bottom of the top 20. Once you are in the top 20 go and view the top 20 for the cheev to pop. Clip must download 100% for it to count. I just tried twice ejecting early.

By troyoy on 15 Mar 2012 01:12

Currently at 26 views to get into the top 20.

Guide works like a charm. Thanks!

By ADaughen on 15 Mar 2012 04:27

Worked for me last night got it on the 20 spot on the dot thanks for the solution!

By finallife6 on 15 Mar 2012 13:40

Awesome! It worked! People, please un-share your clip when you get and help others out!

By Kamera on 16 Mar 2012 00:45

Whew, I was scared so many people would be going for this now that it would be really difficult to get, but it wasn't. 27 views then achievement unlocked! (followed by un-sharing the clip)

By Mr Sax Appeal on 16 Mar 2012 01:18

I have used your guide and it works like a charm! Thanks a lot! Thumbs up.

By Polished Turd69 on 10 Apr 2012 11:52

I'm glad EVERYONE got there achievement, but all the people over the last two weeks that have got into the top 20. Are not UNSHARING there clip so the downloads get higher, meaning it's harder for everyone else, and alot of the top 20 are people from TA, but there not UNSHARING, but hey you got your achievement so that's all that matters right?!?!?!?

PS. I have the achievement but it's getting harder to help others that need it!!

If your one of the people that have not Unshared please do that now, thanks

By iiM SO N1NJA on 11 Jul 2012 18:49

To do this, upload a clip to live and download it with a second account, watch the first few seconds, and exit to the dash. Do this over and over until you're in the top 20 and then view the top 20 with your main account to unlock this!

1 Comment

you don't have to watch it, just select save clip and when the clip is downloaded 100% and you select were you want to save it press B and return to dashboard. slightly faster..

There are a couple of way to go about doing this.
1. Legit Downloads which is near impossible, or
2. Having friends download it over and over without saving it.

This is done as follows:
Have a friend go to your recomended Clip, download it, and when it prompts them to save it, have them decline. It will say "Continue Without Saving?" Select "Yes" and it gives you credit for the Download. Once that is done, they must exit to the dashboard. Rinse and Repeat. You could also do this with another account on your XBox. Same scenerio just make sure your original gamertag os on your friends list.

The Top 20 has been reseting every week so this is obtainable if you catch it early.

IMPORTANT: You HAVE to be online and view the Top 20 when you are in the Top 20 to get the Achievement!!!
