There are statistical "which word is used the most in this language" lists for lots of languages available in internet. Unfortunately I do not have the link to any of these pages available yet.

Maybe I should take another look, perhaps RevTK lite would be equivalent to basically 93% coverage or so.I did learn the JLPT 2 kanjis from the RevTK lite list and it is a great start. After finishing it, you can start immediately with any beginner japanese textbook while learning the remaining JLPT 1 kanjis if needed. RevTK takes around half the time.
