(sentence) Usage of 圏外


人気アイドルにあやかって昨年上位を占めた「たくや」君はベストテン圏外。

I am confused by the usage of 圏外 in this sentence. My translation would be:

I was named after a popular idol, Takuya, who was at the top of popularity
rankings, outside the top 10.

The fact that the idol was outside the top ten most popular idols is strange
given that he already said "at the top". I would understand if there was a
"but", as in "at the top, but not in the top 10". The way it is currently, it
seems like "outside top ten" is somehow reinforcing the "at the top" part,
which doesn't make sense logically.

Clarification: This sentence is part of an explanation about self
introductions and にあやかって means 'named after' in this context.




I'm not sure how you got to your translation.

Isn't everything before たくや君 a relative clause?

> Takuya-kun, who followed the example of popular idol(s) and ranked high last
> year, is outside the top ten.

Would this make sense in the context?

Edit: Thanks Marasaiさん for pointing out that this is about baby names. So it
translates like:

> Takuya, which ranked highly last year due to the popular idol (Takuya
> Kimura), is outside the top ten

The main point of the sentence is 「たくや」君はベストテン圏外 (Takuya is out of the top
ten), but extra information about how it used to be in the top ten is added
with the relative clause.
