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 52.0/100, a mean average of 42.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 41.1/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 24.5.

This is seriously bad chart.
Missing:
Lonerism
The Idler Wheel
Visions
The Money Store
'Allelujah!
Love This Giant
What The Fuck:
Taylor Swift's anything
New Bruce Springsteen
Devotion
4/10 albums on this list are tolerable, so I give this chart the same rating.
After all, this is Billboard. Can't expect them to know anything about music.
Includes Red but not Celebration Rock?? Or Lonerism??
How does someone include Taylor Swift and forget Lonerism, shit list.
