Hiya

I'd like a list of the top 100 artists for these genres:
Pop
Rock
Dance
Hip hop
Jazz
Metal

I already have another list of artists that you can see here:
http://www.kreutz.us/artists.txt

I do not want any of these artists to appear in the lists. Each list
should still contain 100 artists, though.

I would like the lists formatted like this:
Artist 1
Artist 2
Artist 3
etc.

Thank you!

Kreutz000,

Below you will find  the six listings requested.
