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 85.6/100, a mean average of 85.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 85.5/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 7.5.

Very good chart with lots of variety. Being Canadian like me I expected to see more CanCon than the three usual suspects that you have (Neil, Joni and AF). I promise to try again to listen to the post motorcycle accident Bob Dylan stuff if you check out the other Canadian artists on my Top 100...

We Canadians do know our music, do we not? But for the understandable love of Dylan, this is a well-rounded chart.
