(Stolen from Nemesis777)

1. List your top 10 artists and amount of listens to each.
1 The Kooks - 762
2 Arctic Monkeys - 364
3 Coldplay - 352
4 Franz Ferdinand - 245
5 The Shins - 237
6 Muse - 198
7 We Are Scientists - 195
8 Red Hot Chili Peppers - 174
9 Stereophonics - 166
10 The Libertines - 153

2. Add up the total listeners for your top 10:
13,667 - The Kooks
72,383 - Arctic Monkeys
277,641 - Coldplay
185,434 - Franz Ferdinand
149,303 - The Shins
165,039 - Muse
28,151 - We Are Scientists
242,731 - Red Hot Chilli Peppers
72,099 - The Libertines
=1,206,448

3. The most mainstream (on Last.fm) would be if your top 10 artists were the same as the top 10 OVERALL artists for all Last.fm users. So check what that is on the charts page, take all those bands and add up their listeners:

284,162 - Radiohead
267,601 - The Beatles
277,641 - Coldplay
242,731 - Red Hot Chilli Peppers
185,383 - Death Cab For Cutie
244,554 - Green Day
203,980 - System Of A Down
203,615 - Gorrilaz
226,300 - Nirvana
196,353 - Metallica
=2,332,320

4. Take your band's listens and divide by the top band's listens, then (x100 to get percentage):
1,206,448
2,332,320
=0.517….

I'm a shocking 51.7% mainstream :O
