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 13% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 87.5/100, a mean average of 88.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.0/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 6.0.

A whopping 21 picks in common! Classic, classic stuff...although the only puzzling thing is the 6 Kanye West picks. Seems a bit out of place....but to each their own.

Very classic chart - a bit boring but you cannot argue against it - too good music.
