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: 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 is rated in the top 5% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 88.7/100, a mean average of 88.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.3/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 10.4.

Thrilled to see Have One on Me in your top 10! It's the only album on your 2010s chart that made my all-time top 100 list. I think that's because I've struggled to get on board with the love for Kanye West and others of that ilk. There's quite a bit of hip hop from the 2010s that I've liked a lot, though, and I'm planning to use your chart to help me discover more of it. Great job!

Just a little bit more hip-hop on this site with this chart. It's needed.

Fantastic chart that both glances backwards at the musical torchbearers of the past (Arcade Fire, Sun Kil Moon, Bon Iver) as well as embracing the boundary pushers of the future (Arca, SOPHIE, Death Grips).

I think I said the same thing on your 70s chart, that if you had notes as beautiful as your overall chart ones I'd give this another perfect score.

If you haven't listened to them already I'd highly recommend the following:

The Staves & yMusic - The Way Is Read
Everything Everything - Arc
The Brave Little Abacus - Just Got Back From The Discomfort, We're Alright
Mica Levi - Under The Skin
Skee Mask - Compro

Will 100% be using this to round-off my knowledge of this (swiftly ending) decade! Well done!!
