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 79.4/100, a mean average of 76.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.1/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 7.7.

Quite interesting, definitely very britpop-centric but there's some great stuff in here

Great music throughout, and very diverse... except in one regard. 70% from the UK? Really? I know there's more than their fair share coming from the UK - but 70%???

I don't run across many charts that have no albums in common with mine. I like that you've got She & Him. I have Volume 1 on my chart.

Like most of your 80's and 90's albums. Not sure about many of your recent ones. I'll be sure to check some of them out.
