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 91.0/100, a mean average of 91.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 91.5/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 7.5.

Interesting (unique) mix and nice spread through the decades that sets this chart apart from most on this site. Not necessarily my style of preferred music, but I respect your choices.

It's rare that I actually spend the time looking through somebody's entire chart, but I did with this one. Pretty much all of my favourites are here.
