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 78.0/100, a mean average of 73.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.1/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 16.0.

Great Chart! It's a shame some people can't respect other people tastes. Some of these comments are ridiculous, one guys has said "Dead Kennedys? Seriously?" Oh sorry, but not everyone faps over Radiohead and Arcade Fire. Without question the 2 most overrated bands in modern music in my opinion. And someone else has said "Not enough masterpieces, you should scroll through the overall charts." Talk about group think, some people simply can't handle individuality and want everyone to conform to their snobbish 'critical class' ways. Ignorant fools!!!

Seeing Millions Now Living Will Never Die and Fleet Foxes Self Titled was a nice finish to a very mediocre chart in my opinion. No offense.
