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 is rated in the top 16% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 87.3/100, a mean average of 88.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.9/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 8.7.

Liking this chart - especially the Radiohead and Sigur Ros entire catalogues. Band of Horses so high up is interesting - will take another listen to Everything All the Time

Solid chart, more than half from the last 12 years, but good nonetheless.

Great chart, especially how you have U2's albums that were nominated for Album of the Year in the Grammy's
