RESULTS (2nd update, n=50):

Most Loved Ayu Album: (miss)understood
This is Ayu's most loved album, with an average rank of 4.58! Congratulations (miss)understood!!!

Most Polarizing Ayu Album: Rock'n'Roll Circus
Ayu's latest album is now her most polarizing, with fans either lovig it or hating it! It has quite a significant lead over second place, which is Rainbow.

Least Loved Ayu Album: A Song For XX
This album had an average rank of 10.36, a quite big lead over NEXT LEVEL which was the second worst ranking album. But this is understandable because A Song For XX is also the oldest Ayu album.

Least Polarizing Ayu Album: A Song For XX
:laugh What a coincidence that the least liked album is also the least polarizing. This means that a lot of people consistently disliked A Song For XX.

Interesting Note: Memorial Address
This album is the #5 most loved and also the #11 least polarizing. This can also mean that Memorial Address is a candidate for AHS's favourite Ayu album since more people love it and less people hate it (compared to (miss)understood). It's like when a group of people have to choose something, and they choose everyone's second choice instead of the first. So Memorial Address is the compromise candidate! It's average rank is now 5.9, which isn't too well...

Interesting Note: NEXT LEVEL
Next level is both second lowest-ranking and has the third least deviation. Many people dislike A Song For XX because it is very dated and is Ayu's oldest album. So is it fair to say that Next Level is her worst album if we adjusted for time and trend and music styles? NEXT LEVEL had an average rank of 7.56 (bottom half of the average ranking).

There is actually very little distinguishing 9th to 12th place for me, I just thought that the whole bunch of them together were just obviously much, much weaker than the rest of her albums, and within these 4 records, the ranking could very well switch around anytime. They just rank as such now cos having ties is just no fun.
