Blog

Basically, this is inspired by the Nordic Artist Chart by user Radiopilote. I wanted this for german artists, found nothing similar and did it on my own.

I browsed tags, similar artists and national charts to get this list of the top 100 artists on Last.fm, sorted by the number of overall listeners (date: 27 April, 2009).
If you find any mistakes or want to comment anything...., comment!

By the way don't forget to scroll down to see Germany's Tag Cloud and find out from which "Bundesland" the most artists originate!
