Where can I find the top x tags on StackOverflow

Question

Today, while reading Badges page, I noticed (again) the description for Generalist:

Provided non-wiki answers of 15 total score in 20 of top 40 tags

But, I just can't imagine what the top 40 tags are... how can I find that piece of information?

I also suggest to add a link to top 40 tags in that description.

@Robert BTW, I had no idea Top X means "x most popular", should I suggest this as a re-wording for the badge or it is clear to everyone except me just because I'm not English speaker? — jachguate, Feb 18, 2011 at 0:43
No, top 40 really means the most popular 40. In America we have something called the "top 40." It's the 40 most popular songs ranked by airplay, sales, etc. — user102937, Feb 18, 2011 at 0:52

Gives you the top 80 tags or so, so you can just eyeball the first half of them.

There's actually a query on SEDE that you can use to see how far you have to go in each of the top 40 tags to get the Generalist badge.
