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 83.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 88.8/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 19.5.

A very solid 2010s chart! I love Teen Dream (I know everyone does, but it's for good reason), Have One on Me, Lost in the Dream, and that fantastic Courtney Barnett album. Also very impressed to see five Car Seat Headrest albums on here--I'll admit to not paying much attention to them until Teens of Denial (which is great but just missed my 2010s chart, at least to this point). Great work here!

Very interesting list. I've heard some, yet not all. I'm looking forward to listening to those unknown to me.
