As Es noted, It would be great to have the overall AO3 breakdown as the default results and/or as a comparison for whatever tag you're looking at.
We probably want to fetch this in the background (e.g., once a day) and store it so that we don't have to re-fetch it for each visitor.
A lot of the stats (e.g., the ratings breakdown) can be easily obtained by doing a Works Search for each of the options.
The overall top freeform tags can be scraped from here: http://archiveofourown.org/tags. (NB: AO3 says they're changing some organizational/wrangling stuff soon than will drastically change around some of the tags on this page. Still, I think it's our best resource for popular freeforms.)
