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 86.4/100, a mean average of 86.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.6/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 8.4.

Great chart! Although i dont like compilations, the predominance of Radiohead with the personal touch you give, make your chart very interesting

Good music.
I prefere charts that doesn´t include many albums by a few artists.
I´d like a bit more variety in the chart.

Judging by the artists which make up most of your list, you're favourite bands are pretty similar to mine.
