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 12% 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 11.4.

Interesting chart with good coverage of the decades - great to see South American artists getting recognition in a top 100 chart.

Great list. Charly Garcia is a chameleonic genius.

Good chart, great to see Electric Warrior make the cut. Not familiar with the South American selections but like the feel of the stuff I know.
