In the 50s, this was the fastest, heaviest, loudest, and naughtiest music out there. Those theories that elvis stole from black artists and never wrote a song are just myths. [First added to this chart: 10/17/2020]

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 85.4/100, a mean average of 84.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 85.3/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 12.3.
