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)

Those first 15 seconds alone, man...Everything else has already been said about this song many times over. Sheer pop perfection.
Cringeworthy. This is the worst thing Freddie Mercury ever did and it's no surprise that it was catalyzed by the presence of the infinitely overrated Bowie. (Edited)

Música extraordinária, possui o melhor de cada artista combinando perfeitamente.
Two of the greatest singers ever come together for one epic song. It's hard to listen to this now that both Bowie and Mercury have passed but I'm glad we'll always have their music to remember them by.
