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 artists can have several thousand ratings)

Ignore my paltry comment from 10 years back. ABBA's talent for melody was exceptional. An overwhelmingly positive force in Pop, utterly un-American and pan-European in scope. Wonderfully cheesy at their most popular moments, truly exceptional at their best. A sound at once both nostalgic and yet also so innovative and representative of its time. Summer is not complete without them on the playlist, it's as simple as that. (Edited)
The european most succesful pop band of the 70's.
Despite their light-weight nature there is no mistaking this group knew how to craft hum-able and addictive hooks.
Catchy and largely overproduced; occasionally fun but rather artificial sounding. And clearly just a singles band: 17 albums listed here on BEA of which 8 are compilations. (Edited)
