Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)

These compilations are really partners to the doo-wop albums as they cover the same period and roughly the same style of music, but with female singers, and a more feminine approach to the lyrics (albeit the lyrics were mostly written by men). While doo-wop singers were interested in sometimes quite complex four-part harmonies, the girl groups tended toward a single main vocal with grouped backing vocals, though there is a significant blurring of this distinction.
