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 3% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 89.4/100, a mean average of 91.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 91.6/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 6.8.

Very impressive coverage of 2018 no doubt, with all the albums listed here. But the 'times listened' and 'most listened track' counters presented plainly alongside your X/100 score leaves us with about as much humanity as an XL spreadsheet.

For someone who's clearly put a lot of effort into laying all these albums out, it's a shame you haven't spoken more about WHY these records are your favourite. I'm not sure about other people's tastes but I know that's what I love about this website. If I just wanted to see your numerical rankings from 2018 alone, I would look at your ratings. Hopefully you give us something to chew on...

Phenomenal taste, probably because its so close to mine! Maybe check out Cheer by Drug Church (based on IDLES, Rosenstock, Turnstile, Joyce Manor)
