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 2% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 90.6/100, a mean average of 93.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 93.9/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 6.6.

Nice chart.
It's a diverse and good list. Your picks are delusional, but it is a good chart.
30 albums in common but a ton of unique stuff that I should probably check out. Nothing really I disagree with either, though I think a lot of my favorites ended up in your 101-200. That said, IMO order isn't as important as inclusion, and I think this list is pretty cool. Lots of great insight into Irish musicians that I'd probably otherwise have missed!
17 albums in common at this point and a lot I haven't gotten around to. Excellent.
Your feedback for Top 100 Music Albums of 2020
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 :(
We work very hard to ensure our site is as fast (and FREE!) as possible, and we respect your privacy.
