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 83.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 85.1/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 11.0.

Fantastic
beautiful music.
I wish you had more different artists, it`s a bit boring to read Beatles and Dylan on every side...
Maybe you do some decade charts, cause I want to see more of your Music.

Good chart, would be better with a better spread of artists though. Great that you put Tigermilk in there.
