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 is rated in the top 4% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 89.1/100, a mean average of 90.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 90.2/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 10.8.

Interesting chart but too much from the 2000's onwards. I like your chart but I would like to see more stuff from other decades.

The inclusion of Seek Magic immediately makes this one of my favorite charts here.

Awesome stuff. I love Four Tet and Washed Out so I'll have to check out some of these other ones I haven't listened to.

Not sure I've left a comment before but eh
This is really, *really* good and not really fussed about the weight towards 2010s because it justifies it. Love the R&B picks, you should try James Ferraro's "NYC, Hell 3:00AM", very odd alt R&B record that gets me everyy time. yeah this is really great, though the genre tags can be a little "huh"

@Antonio-Pedro:
pom pom is just a hoot, a bit of silly fun :-D
And you're right regarding liking more uptempo music. Singer-songwritery quiet stuff doesn't do a lot for me, it has to be said. :-P

Fun fact when I think of a modern thing I always Imagine it with lots of light-bulbs, and this chart feels like you're dancing to all of it haha, now I see you as a person with a lightbulb shirt dancing out there with any of these albums, Well it could be led because led is cool and all colorful haha, Lovable chart
