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)
This artist has a Bayesian average rating of 75.6/100, a mean average of 74.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.6/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 17.9.

Pop duo with a good 8-10 catchy hits which endue multiple listens. Somehow deeper than the general genre they were a part of.

They're the most succuessful duo in UK history. It's very easy to hear why. Very infectious.

What the Pet Shop Boys did better than almost anyone else was make high quality pop music you actually cared about. It's why their back catalogue is still so strong today, and indeed why they are such a universally likeable band.
The masters of synth pop and gods among the pop music world.
Great early on up to the album Behaviour, after that they lost their appeal somewhat

Great band that still resonates with me today.
