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 83.7/100, a mean average of 82.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 82.5/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 12.4.

I'd change the order a bit, and cut Joanna Newsom. Still quite a good list though.

Quality choices, both new and old, that show a very diverse range of taste. Love the inclusion of 69 Loves Songs and Bee Thousand. Solid chart all around!
