How do I view my Last.fm listening stats on lastfmstats.com?

Updated

Enter your Last.fm username on lastfmstats.com and let the site pull your scrobble history; your stats appear once the data has been fetched. This works best when your Last.fm listening data is set to public, because the site reads your scrobbles from Last.fm rather than from a private export.

What lastfmstats.com does

Last.fm stats (lastfmstats.com) is described as "Enhanced statistics for last.fm" — it takes the scrobble data already stored in your Last.fm profile and presents it in more detail than the standard Last.fm charts.

It is a viewer, not a replacement for Last.fm. Your listening history still lives on Last.fm; this site just reads and re-presents it.

Steps to view your stats

  1. Open lastfmstats.com in your browser.
  2. Enter your Last.fm username in the input field. Use the exact username from your Last.fm profile URL (last.fm/user/yourname), not your display name or email.
  3. Start the stats generation. The site begins fetching your scrobble history from Last.fm.
  4. Wait for the fetch to finish. Because it pulls a large history, this can take a while for accounts with many scrobbles — the page needs to collect the data before it can chart it.
  5. Review the results. Once loading completes, your listening statistics are displayed.

Before you start: the public-data condition

The key prerequisite is that your listening data must be readable by the site:

  • Public scrobbles: If your Last.fm listening history is public, the site can retrieve it and you get complete stats.
  • Private or restricted history: If your scrobbles are hidden, the fetch will not return your full history, so the stats will be incomplete or unavailable.

If you get empty or partial results, check your Last.fm privacy settings first — that is the most common cause.

Common snags

Symptom Likely cause What to check
No stats appear Username typo or wrong identifier Re-enter the username exactly as in your profile URL
Partial history Listening data not public Last.fm privacy settings for your scrobbles
Long wait / seems stuck Large scrobble history still loading Give the fetch time; very active accounts take longer

What you get

Once loaded, the enhanced view is built from your existing scrobble record, so the value depends on how much you have scrobbled and how far back your history goes. A long, public scrobble history produces the richest result; a new or private account produces little.
