What is Last.fm stats (lastfmstats.com)?

Last.fm stats (lastfmstats.com) is a third-party web tool that reads your public Last.fm listening history and turns it into enhanced statistics and visualizations. It is not an official Last.fm product. You use it by entering a Last.fm username, and it pulls that profile's scrobbles to generate charts and breakdowns that go beyond what the standard Last.fm profile shows. Because it depends entirely on data Last.fm already holds, it works best when your listening history is public and reasonably complete.

What it does

The site's own description is "Enhanced statistics for last.fm," which captures its role: it is an analytics layer on top of your existing scrobble data, not a music player, scrobbler, or social network.

Typical outputs of a tool like this include:

• Listening totals over time — scrobble counts by day, week, month, or year, so you can see activity trends and gaps.
• Top artists, albums, and tracks — ranked lists, often with adjustable time ranges rather than a single all-time view.
• Distribution charts — how concentrated your listening is around a few favorites versus spread across many artists.
• Listening patterns — for example, which days of the week or hours you scrobble most, where the data supports it.

The exact set of views changes as the site is updated, so treat any specific chart as something to check on the live page rather than a fixed guarantee.

How it relates to Last.fm

The key relationship: Last.fm is the source of truth for the data; lastfmstats.com is a viewer for it. Nothing you do on the stats site writes back to your Last.fm profile. If a scrobble is missing or wrong on Last.fm, it will also be missing or wrong in the stats.

What to know before using it

• It is not official. It is an independent project, so its availability, design, and feature set are not governed by Last.fm.
• It relies on public data. Lookups generally work from a username, which means the profile's listening data needs to be visible. Private or heavily restricted profiles may return little or nothing.
• Accuracy is inherited. Any gaps, duplicate scrobbles, or mis-tagged tracks in your Last.fm history will show up in the analysis. The tool does not clean or correct the underlying data.
• No account changes. Using it does not modify your Last.fm library, scrobbles, or settings.

When it is worth using

Use it if you want a richer read on your own listening habits — for example, comparing this year's top artists against last year's, or seeing how evenly your listening is spread. If you only need a quick top-artists list, your Last.fm profile already provides that, and the extra layer adds little. If your profile is private, expect limited results until the relevant data is public.
