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

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!
