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 1% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 91.7/100, a mean average of 91.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 92.2/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 9.5.

Lots of left-field pop. I like left-field pop. I dig this chart.
EDIT: Actually, looking further, this is *super* eclectic. Love it!

just coming here again after your update, gotta say I still love it (what's not to love?). Definitely gonna take some recs from the eurodance, cloud rap, & post-club genres, plus that Burmese album seems worth a spin. Also gotta love Sonic R in there. I always forget what a banger "Super Sonic Racing" is until it pops up randomly.
