No of Crashes A320 vs 737

I might be wrong but it's very seldom that you hear about an A320 hitting the ground. But on the other hand it seams that at almost every big airline crash there is a 737 involved...

Why is that?

Now I know that there are a lot more 737's flying than A320 scince they've been built for a longer period of time but still,... and I know that every event different but still the no speaks for them selves...

Are A320's safer than 737's?

Here are some statistics from Airdisaster.com
B737: 57 events since 1988

A320: 7 events since 1988
