Top 100 Music Albums of the 2010s
by Mercury

This was a decade, 2010-2019 that is, that was dominated by 3 artists - at least as of now. Ichiko Aoba, The Tallest Man On Earth and Kanye West account for 16% of the albums here (I'm counting DAYTONA produced by Kanye. Kinda wild. They are all very unique and all time favorites.

This decade is still even after much much more listening a relatively "weak" one in terms of my personal all time favorite releases goes. Still, this is a lot lot lot better than it was just a year ago and there are 100 great albums here and many more to explore.

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 charts can have several thousand ratings)
This chart is rated in the top 5% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 88.6/100, a mean average of 90.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 90.3/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 9.9.

Great list. Outside of year charts, this is the only one besides mine to include "Civilian". Can we get that album into the top 1,000?
