|
Please someone help me. When I don't understand something it drives me nuts and this is exactly what is happening to me with the Top 100 Rated. Let's take the first line, shall we?
rank:1 - stars:5 - #votes:30 - score:4.68 - %ile:100 - Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back - John Williams
This is how I read it: 30 people voted for this album. This made an average of 4.68 stars that has been rounded to 5 stars. So far so good. Now, what is this percentile? At first, I thought it was to say how many people voted 5 stars but that doesn't make sense because if 100% voted 5 stars, then the average would be 5 as well. So what is this percentile? Please explain this to me before I reach complete insanity...

Ah thanks thuring! I search in the "forum search" but it seems I hadn't put the right keywords. I feel so much better now that I understand.
