AV = the site mean average rating.

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 80.9/100, a mean average of 78.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.6/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 15.0.

Excellent chart :)
Fantastic chart, cept for a few personal strays from my own.
Good chart so far! Took some points for being too short, but I can't wait to see the other 50!
Always enjoy checking out this list.
Es curioso cómo siendo americano llegaste a Soda Stereo. Se ve que sos amplio de miras. Te respeto por eso.
Great list! Was hoping for more hip-hop, though, after reading your tagline. How about The Blueprint or Reasonable Doubt by Jay-Z? Or Illmatic? Or some Wu Tang? Love the list anyway..
