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 75.1/100, a mean average of 68.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 68.4/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 22.8.

Nothing wrong with this chart at all. Not to my taste but that beside the point. I can see that you love your pop music and it's a shame that there are no 60's albums on the list. Some fabulous pop albums from that decade.
Nice enough chart though non the less
Good to see 3 Australian albums in your chart - even if they are all Kylie Minogue.
Defo a pop focused chart with a bit of RnB, Soul and Glam. Good to see as most charts are Indie including my own. Interesting the occasional heavier rock album. But most interestingvthing for me was the high placing of Diamond Dogs. This album doesn't get enough love. Bowies vocals in Sweet Thing and RocknRoll With Me are winderful. Fill up your last 5 with Suede and Placebo

Good Pop 100 a little too much Madonna she is a favourite of mine but I only have 3 of her albums in my 100. Try and include more artists and less Madonna, Bowie & Prince maybe have a max. of 5 albums per artist it will leave space for other genres/artists.

Sorry, but I really dont like it. 20/100 because of the originality. The true is that I dont like at all the aesthetic of the pop music, it is nothing personal.

Nice to see a non-rock chart once in a while. I'd suggest you keep building on it and perhaps include some more artists.
