I know I named some odd ones. Just listen to them with an open mind. After a couple listens like that, you'll see why they're here.

Rating metrics: Help 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 77.9/100, a mean average of 70.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.0/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 16.1.

Seems like a normal chart, with some great selections. I'd even defend your choices of Christina Aguilera and Alanis. But then you add Mariah Carey, Celine Dion and AFI? Ugh... There's odd, and then there's ignorant.

A good, honest chart, not afraid to tell it like you find it. Respect.
