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 84.8/100, a mean average of 82.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 84.8/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 19.6.

I enjoyed spending time travelling down your top 50 chart - which took me to a few places that I ain't ever been before. Good to see an Aussie artist in the list.

It's been a long while since I have viewed this chart. Madness and brilliant to see you're still on the site - I remember our discussions from around 10-12 years ago. Hope you're well!

Really nice chart. Lots that I agree with and lots that I haven't dove into yet. I'm really intrigued by The Fiery Furnaces being on here. It's been over a decade since I've given them a spin, but when I did I absolutely LOATHED all of their music. Maybe I should give it another shot haha

Stunning mix of genres across a variety of time periods, not much more to say than that. If you included some notes, this would probably become my favourite chart on the entire website ...
