Hi Lucy, I checked Hitwise UK data to get you these stats. The top 20 sites received 29% of internet visits last week and the top 100 sites received 41.34% of the visits. We captured visits to 405,309 sites last week - so the top .02% of sites receive 41% of the traffic. So much for the 80/20 rule!
If you need more detail, let me know. And, thanks to Chris Lake for alerting me to this thread!

We don't report global figures but we could provide you similar figures for our other markets: US, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong and Singapore. If you're interested, let me know. Not sure we can provide all of these at no cost - but let me know what you need and we can take it from there.
Thanks.
