Average Rating = (n ÷ (n + m)) × av + (m ÷ (n + m)) × AVwhere:

n = number of ratings an item has currently received.
m = minimum number of ratings required for an item to appear in a 'top-rated' chart (currently 10).
AV = the site mean average rating.

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 84.7/100, a mean average of 83.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 83.6/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 9.6.

Good chart. Good mix of classics and interesting choices. Yes, Waterboys and Leonard Cohen do not get enough love.
Welcome to BEA!
I love your chart, we have 1 2albums in coomon! :)
So happy to see The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, a bit underrated album here on BEA.

Gets more interesting outside the top 20. I'd like to see more of this when it expands!
