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 10% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 87.9/100, a mean average of 89.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.1/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 6.7.

We'd get along.
Great chart! Love seeing Meshell and Erykah and so many other great artists on here
Any chart with Gone To Earth in it is alright with me

Great chart! You have a huge variety of genres, I really love to see 2 Ween albums in your chart. You should give a listen to Quebec, Chocolate And Cheese and Shinola Vol. 1, they're all gorgeous.

Exquisite Chart.
I love this list! Very different than most people on this website's tastes. It's good to see Erykah Badu praise.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
