Why this decade is essential:
score = 100 · quality · confidence quality = sum_weights / (5 · album_count) = 217 / (5 · 61) = 0.711 confidence = log₁₀(album_count + 1) = log₁₀(61 + 1) = 1.792 score = 100 · 0.711 · 1.792 = 127.5
sum_weights = total of all album ratings from this decade
album_count = number of rated albums released in this decade
5 = maximum possible rating per album
+1 = smoothing factor for small sample sizes
