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 5% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 88.8/100, a mean average of 89.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.5/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 7.4.

A nice enough chart ~ but I do think that music from non-US artists deserve more than 9 entries across the decade.

Interesting chart. A lot of good material. Some not my taste, but some that I haven't heard yet. Gotta give them a good listen! I don't get the popularity of Kanye West either. But obviously, some do.

I never understood whats so good about Kanye and trust me I tried. I find TPAB better than Good Kid. The Suburbs is good, I wouldnt put it #1 but still lots of hits on that one. Aesop and Shabazz on here, nice. I find Cunninlynguists and Masta Ace also have good records in that era.
