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 79.4/100, a mean average of 71.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.3/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 21.0.

haredoug ... that Summer selection is a special concept piece... read my comments on it. Tears for Fears? Not many singers measure up to Roland Orzabal.

Decent chart but incredibly same-y and so not particularly interesting, need to spread your wings and fly fly fly like a butterfly fly

Not a bad chart at all... but I don't see how this is massively different chart than your comments to 5thbeatle.
