Go through your top 10 artists and add up the total number of listeners. Divide the average by the number of Radiohead fans (Radiohead is the artist with the most listeners). That is your "mainstream percentage."

1. System of a Down = 233,108
2. Metallica = 226,303
3. In Flames = 92,541
4. Apocalyptica = 79,446
5. Opeth = 55,123
6. Sentenced = 25,834
7. Finntroll = 39,237
8. Amon Amarth = 30,314
9. Dream Theater = 89,222
10. Cradle of Filth = 68,900

Total = 940,028
Average = 94,002

Radiohead = 323,179

Mainstream percentage = 94,002 / 323,179 = 0,29 = 29%
Mine is hella amusing. I predicted in advance I'd have 3% or something in IRC before sitting down and doing it.
And... well:
217 - Monolithic
1,626 - Yuzo Koshiro
129 - Paradigm
8,768 - E-Rotic
7,392 - Move
12,452 - Machinae Supremacy
10,486 - Captain Jack
1,948 - Missing Heart
83 - UNIQ
1,103 - BanYa
