That might not mean anything specifically useful, but it might mean that you are a bit more willing to take a risk on something if other people like it.

It's obviously significant enough to be worth putting on the cover.
Ah, but you then have to hope that it's an honest label. I mean someone could (in theory if not practice) make up false reviews of their book that make it seem more popular than it is. I remember some time back there was some trouble with people doing something like that at Amazon or something.
