Average Rating = (n ÷ (n + m)) × av + (m ÷ (n + m)) × AVwhere:

n = number of ratings an item has currently received.
m = minimum number of ratings required for an item to appear in a 'top-rated' chart (currently 10).
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 83.9/100, a mean average of 82.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 82.7/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 9.5.

This is an interesting chart with a number of really surprising albums. Although I usually appreciate notes to give perspective to a chart, I feel as though the notes here do not add what they are supposed to though.
Really good chart that messy, in a good way. You never know what's coming next, which i like
Very powerful and unpredictable chart.
I like it.
Kata gue mah, Ini tuh susunan yang unik. Gue kaget! ada Frank Zappa di No.1. Gue harus dengerin ini lagi, beberapa susunan ini yang rada-rada bikin pusing. Ini Aneh, Bisa-bisanya Akar Umbi nyangkut disitu, Siapa ya!?.
Gue suka ini, karna bingung sama orang yang suka The Beatles bisa ada di 10 teratas.
how good your list is boys.... your Chart changed my opinion when i was looking at 80th musicians...
Cool to see so much Zappa, I've been listening to his stuff a lot in the last few months. Good chart man!
Interesting list! it's got some undisputed classics with surprises thrown in.
Good start.
please present more surprises like Akar Umbi.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
