How are the top 10 determined? Is it through sales, or some other criteria?

I would not put some of these in the top 10 and how is it decided? By sales, structure of the workout, what?

Probably the ones they get for promotional consideration (review copies) are the ones they consider, but considering those are the ones available via mass market retailers and this is a mass market magazine that's not necessarily a bad thing, even if it does leave out some of the smaller niche instructors.

Interesting that three of the top ten are barre-related. I guess it's officially "caught on".

Based on ad revenue?

Jeanette Jenkins works for Fitness. I'm not sure what they call it, but she's like a "resident expert" for when they need some quotes from an expert.

it states they asked 80 women or more to do the latest workouts and these are the ones they deemed worthy (not in exactly those words).

I have them all and I'd have to agree with the Bob Harper one. Also, Super Fit Bod is a great workout with Amy Dixon. She really kicks my butt on that one. I also found the Denise Austin one yoga with weights good!
