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 87.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.0/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 9.5.

Very good Chart.
Good Music, great variety and enough to discover.
You have a lot in common with my "Strange Girls" Chart - I hope you like it as well.
Please expand your Chart to 100.

So much diversity on your chart. You go from Bjork, to Mumford and Sons and finish with Lana del Rey. Great stuff
