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 84.5/100, a mean average of 83.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 84.1/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 11.8.

Nice chart, though would be nice to see the post-80s era getting a little more love! More Bowie albums than the whole of the 2000s seems a little harsh ...

Beautiful chart. And I don't think you overestimate the musical impact of your country at all.

Great to see that you like music from your country (unlike me). I'm going to check those brazilian records!

Wow, Michael Jackson. Just when I though those Brazilian albums might actually be good...

Olha, que incrível seus charts, tem uma seleção totalmente versátil de álbuns brasileiros, que por mim foi o maior atrativo. A variedade no Soul, Pop, e Indie foi bem curiosa também. Clube da Esquina MASTERPIECE, haha!
