Josh,
I don't want to be negative here, but IMO, finding out what lenses are most 
popular won't show you anything, because many of us have many 50 1.8s -  
people send them with camera body purchases, that's why we refer to them as 
"50mm body caps."  If I hadn't given several away, I'd probably have 10 of 
them by now. Of course, there's no way I could use all 10 of them as lenses. 
So, my point is, sheer numbers will not  prove that one lens is the most 
popular, since many of us did not set out to collect as many 50 1.8 lenses as 
we now have in our posession.
IMO, you should ignore all 50 MMs.
    
Best,
George S.
