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 87.1/100, a mean average of 87.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.1/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 9.9.

Your chart is great. In my opinion, you're just a bit too enthusiastic about Tame Impala...

Excellent chart! Amazing top ten, wich is full of classics but modern at the same time, like the whole chart. Very nice indeed. Great distribution of albums among the decades, that for a top 35, is really good. Just expand!
