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 13% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 87.6/100, a mean average of 86.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.8/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 11.5.

Great variety. The Argentinian flavor is intriguing even though I do not know any of the artists. I am not familiar with any of the Mexican or Cuban artists here either, but there is a lot to like here. 21 albums in common is always a good thing...I might have to investigate this Charly Garcia fellow who is ranked so high on your chart.

I really do enjoy this list. Though I'm unfamiliar with most of the Latin American stuff, it's really nice to see a mix of music from so many different countries. As for the NA/Europe stuff, a lot of it is great, and some of it isn't really my jam. Overall nice job.

Great chart! I mean it! Was surprised to see mbv so high. And thought it was great to see some Cerati and Pescado Rabioso along with Charly Garcia. Despite I'm from Argentina, I have never listened to any of those albumes. Heard about them, of course I have. But listening to Bocanada or Pescado 2 is a goal I know one day I'll meet.
