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 85.9/100, a mean average of 85.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 85.9/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 6.9.

Classic !
nice!
pretty darn flash, but kinda just looks like u picked the industry top 100
Now that's what I call music.
It probably would have deserve a higher rate if it had shown more diverse. Maybe it does in the added choices.
Classic !
