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 84.7/100, a mean average of 83.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 84.5/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 14.9.

This is a great chart, very 80s heavy, but love that you have included some Cocteau Twins in here, one of the best bands of the 80s and early to mid 90s!
sophialeviev 06/19/2018 02:16
THIS is a chart. Respect for disintegration being #1 and for mellon collie being so high.
flyingcitrus 06/18/2018 15:21
It's really not very similar to mine, but I can appreciate the amount of work that went into this chart. There's a lot of variation of time periods and genres.
Nice chart, I'm really liking the Kinks heavy representation.
CharlieBarley 12/19/2017 00:16
The Cure, Bowie and Kate Bush. And Smiths. What's not to like? I like Pretty Hate Machine too, that's an underrated album. I like pretty much everything on here, it's a very strong chart.
LedZep 12/18/2017 18:04
Unique, mostly fantastic 80s alternative music which I love too.
sssvnnn 09/28/2015 01:01

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
