Open a plaintext editor, paste in the code below, and save it as something. Upload it as a product.
Where you want the names to appear, place '$Top5' in the template, and they will be inserted in yellow color. You can specify your own color of yellow by finding and replacing '#ff0' with any hex color of your choice. I just used the default yellow because I don't know what you're after

Please don't repost, submit, or distribute without asking!
Feel free to use as you need.
