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 87.0/100, a mean average of 86.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.3/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 9.5.

Still one of my favorite charts. Even if I don't love every album on here, I love that this doesn't look like every other chart. Way to be, Sandra Dee.

Really dig this chart, a little biased towards 90s onward but there's some great stuff, very unique. Your #1 is not one of Bjork's albums which I've listened to, I'll need to give it a shot
