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: 29 December 2010).
If you find any mistakes, miss some artists or want to comment anything...., comment! :)

I have been producing music for many years and I am currently producing under the name Ethereal Garden, formerly known as Atmospheria. I am moved to produce music in the genres of new age, world fusion, ambient, and ethereal. My album Twilight, which was released last year, has multiple influences and is hard to lockdown to one genre.

Personally, I love many types of music including 80's, alternative, rockabilly, new-age, gothic, classical and more ...

To give you an idea of some of my influences, below are a listing of some of my favorite artists.
