You don't need to know popular sizes, just make sure your wallpapers are made for 16:9 and 16:10 aspect ratios. If you need to choose between the two, 16:9.
5:4 can fuck off

I've got a rad false-colour shot from a Mars rover of a giant crater filled with martian sand dunes... can you top that?

wouldn't the aspect ratios be more important than the actual resolutions? make a 1.77:1 version and a 1.6:1 and you should be good.

Yes, didn't realize that until I re-tallied by aspect ratios and found that it's mostly 16:9 and 8:5. Currently it's 5-4, with 8:5 winning 
SO, right now those two are the main numbers. I probably couldn't match the mars rover as far as unique images, but the set is still something i want to do anyways. 
thx for the help! Hard part will be picking the images and making them desktop worthy

				If you cannot expand a wall paper to the point of seein the micro hairs on a nipple... it's too small.
