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 tracks can have several thousand ratings)
This track is rated in the top 2% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 84.1/100, a mean average of 81.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 84.5/100. The standard deviation for this track is 19.8.

Literally makes me want to explode. Some of the best production ever put to a pop single. Oozes turn of the century/new millenium optimism, yet has lost none of its sheer, overwhelming positive energy nigh-on 25 years later. This came on the radio when my Mum was giving me a light somewhere and we found out how much both of us love this song - didn't know up until that point. Solidly confirms Madonna as one of the greatest of all time.

Grande espiritualidade traduzida em eletrônica.

Madonna's best song makes techno spiritual in a whirlwind of dynamic shifts
Surprised that this isn't higher than it is. One of Madonna's best songs and a great showcase of what William and Madonna can accomplish together.
