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: 04 May 2012)
If you find any mistakes, miss some artists or want to comment anything…., comment! :)
