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 has a Bayesian average rating of 82.2/100, a mean average of 80.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.5/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 12.3.

Great chart! Of course it is missing plenty from the 60s-80s, but I'm lacking in that department as well so I can't judge. I love so many of your picks.

Interesting chart indeed, as you chose mostly music from this century and the 90', and that is a difficult thing to do. However, it also affects you, because you are ignoring a lot of good music of the 60' and 70', the most productive decades talking about music. So i dont know really. For now, that is my rate - 7/10

Is dont know if you are just trying to make a joke, or a 20 album chart with Reflektor as a number (being released 2 days ago) is actually an honest intention
