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 1% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 88.9/100, a mean average of 87.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.9/100. The standard deviation for this track is 15.7.

Pop music was a complete shit show in the late 2000s and early 2010s, but then this shot up the charts and gave me hope.

One of the best pop songs of the decade

Great song. The pop version is worse, and it got really overplayed, but the original song is awesome.
This comment is beneath your viewing threshold.

Wow. This is so much better than I ever thought it would be. For once, the mainstream got it right.
Been a really long while since I have enjoyed a mainstream song this much.
So real, music in it's bare essentials. The lyrics.....
