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 85.3/100, a mean average of 84.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 85.2/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 10.8.

Really enjoyed checking out this chart & discovering a few UK 90's albums/artists that I've added to my own charts. Quite surprised to find 5 Midnight Oil & 2 INXS albums - nice to find someone who has so warmly embraced Aussie talent.
Here’s to Midnight Oil

Wow! Probably closest to my top 10 than anyone else on the site!

Great chart and I love your love for Midnight Oil. I’ll certainly check out your French favorites: Téléphone and Mano Negro are already fantastic choices!
