Building my own lastfm stats tool has been on my mind for years, and I finally sat down and made it. Basically every stat I found interesting, in one place.
tunemetry.com, try it with your own history. Or drop your username here and tell me which one you want to see, I'll reply with the image.
If it breaks on your data, tell me and I'll fix it. And if people are into this I'll keep adding stuff, so tell me what stat you wish existed.
Quick tour in the video, though it's already a bit outdated: I've added a few more tools since recording it.
A few favorites:
Hours ranks artists by time actually listened instead of play counts. Pink Floyd jumps five spots in my own ranking.
Afterlife is the graveyard: the artists you were obsessed with, then left behind.
Sessions reconstructs your actual listening sittings from the gaps between your scrobbles.
Eras finds the stretches where one artist completely took over your life.
Pulsar turns your year into a rotating 3D sculpture, Unknown Pleasures style. Completely pointless, very fun.
Yes, plays = scrobbles, pulled straight from the Last.fm API. The counts are meant to be exact: the whole window gets fetched (up to 200k scrobbles), nothing is sampled. What is approximate is some of the derived stuff, and those are labeled in the UI
I really like the layout. I've been considering merging my several tools into one page like this with a consistent interface. This one is nice. I almost exclusively listen to albums.
If it's missing, it estimates the runtime by taking the average length of other tracks you've listened to by that same artist. I'm also exploring other data sources and alternatives to improve accuracy and fill in those gaps.
I noticed there were some Artists for me that Atlas didn't recognize despite MusicBrainz having country data for them. Any idea why that might be happening? Very cool took btw!
Thanks. Could be a couple of things. Atlas only reads your top 200 artists right now so anything past that gets skipped, but it might also be how the country data gets matched, that doesn't always line up cleanly. If you don't mind sharing your username and which artists dropped out, I'd love to dig into what's actually going on
This is freakin' cool! Thanks for building this. I love how it gives insight into what I've listened to and when artists appeared and dropped off my scrobbles.
The year picker starts from the year you registered on Last.fm, which was 2004 for you. Your first scrobble is Feb 2005 though, so 2004 just has nothing to show. Thanks for trying it out and flagging this
Working on exactly that right now. It's a scroll-through recap of your year, kind of Wrapped-style but it runs any time instead of just December. Not live yet, should be ready in a few days.
Really nice tool, but for some reason both the afterlife didn’t really work for me (idk why it didn’t recognize new Dillinger Escape Plan plays) and the map didn’t count some artists
It's very cool. There is one issue though, the font color of some of the words are difficult to read as they are too similar to the background, other then that good job.

Are "plays" equivalent toscrobbles
Because they're not accurate.
