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 81.7/100, a mean average of 77.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.0/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 17.7.

I really like this list.
YOU CAN'T TELL ME THERE'S NO GOOD MUSIC AT LEAST IN THE 90S!
Very shallow and close-minded chart. Really? Nothing past 1980!?? Nothing before 1961? Were you locked in a room your whole life and forced to only listen to two decades worth of music? This is not a music lover's chart. I will not sugar-coat my response in an effort to be nice. This is unapologetically abysmal.
2/10 because there are actually some good albums in here, but the rating speaks for the chart as a whole.
Very unique!
20 Albums by Walter Wanderley on a Top 100 ?
No albums from the 90's,00's and just one from the 80's ?
This is basically "Top Albums from the 60's, 70's".
Would've loved to see more variety but I need some 60s on my own chart so this will help me discover.
Expanded. Got more solid. I love it.
Good music.
The chart trusts in the classical albums.
I hope you expand it to 100 and show us some more music we don´t know.
I like the additions, but dive into some younger albums! You'll find many gems! I will boost my rating once I see more!
All great albums only having to much Miles Davis in succession only ?

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 :(
