Dominated by 2014 onwards as that was when I came out of the dark ages of purchased CDs and found subscription streaming services. This increased accessability allowed for so much more exploration and discoveries...and I love new fresh music so recent albums are always coming in.

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 86.7/100, a mean average of 87.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.3/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 8.5.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
