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 4% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 89.0/100, a mean average of 88.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.4/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 7.5.

Unique chart - I like it a lot. Nice to see a couple of Australian artists in the mix. (Edited)

I love these charts that have a little bit of common ground in terms of my musical taste, but they give you a glimpse of something different. I'll start with the Portuguese-speaking artists. (Edited)

Cool chart! For a second I thought my chart was posted again cuz we have the same number one album. Love Four Tet and I still have yet to listen to the album you posted.
