Hi everyone. I frequently see mentions of “top analysts” and “bottom bucket analysts.” Can someone explain the terminology? How does one become a top, middle, bottom-tier analyst?

Chill. This thread pops up here every two weeks.
The longer (older) threads have the detailed/helpful responses which are actually useful, no one is going to write those out every time there's a new thread

It means you got paid on par with the other best-paid analysts in your year. You’re “bucketed” as an analyst.
An analyst who people regard as one of the top people to work with in their class may be one definition
the one who is willing to get fucked in the ass the most
Top bucket analysts use the search function instead of asking questions like this.
It's literally scoring. Depending on your class size, based on whatever rating methodology your group uses, a top-bucket analyst is usually in the top 3 or so in their class and bottom-bucket in the bottom 3 or so. All of your deal teams are asked to score you numerically based on a number of different things (modeling competency, work product, demeanor, etc). Bonuses are paid-out according to where you shake-out.
