Here is some details about how we calculate the average rating of an album and the rank of an album.

Average rating: The classic calculation of the average but more weight is affected to the rating of collaborators and to rating with reviews.
- Rating only by members: Weight = 1
- Review by members : Weight = 5
- Rating or review by collaborators : Weight = 10
Rank of an album*: We use a calculation that compare an album average rating and number of ratings over all others albums in the query using this theory (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weighted_average)
