Default Find the top five in list

I have a list of 135 text entries, some of which duplicate. My goal
is to find the most often used entry. For example: Lets say I have a
list:

Apple, Apple, Apple, Orange, Orange, Grape

I want excel to tell me that Apple is the most often found entry,
followed by Orange, and lastly Grape.

Any suggestions???? This is kinda like finding the mode of numerical
values but I want to find the top five or so entries.

Thanks,

Brandon
