Kris' Statistics on Last.fm - Watch Them Grow!

Having completed the Last.fm tasks, you are aware that Last.fm is all about compiling data. On Kris' artist page, you find the total number of plays (the number of times someone listens to any of his tracks on their computer, iPod or through Last.fm) as well as the total number of listeners (anyone who listens to Kris' music for the first time - whether on their computer, iPod or through Last.fm).  

 

We thought it would be fun to have a discussion devoted to watching those statistics grow. It is important to remember that the total number of listeners on Kris' page is the growing number of people who have ever listened to a Kris Allen song. Once you're counted, you will not be counted again. After your initial scrobbling, you must scrobble at least every two weeks for your plays to be counted in Kris' statistics, as any plays with a time stamp older than two weeks are ignored.

 

The Last.fm weekly charts (accessed through the link at the top of the website) list the number of unique listeners for an artist during a given week. Those totals are not available on the artist's page so unless Kris makes the chart, we do not know how many people are listening to him weekly. In order to get Kris on the charts, we must scrobble weekly, preferably before the cut-off on Sunday. To enter the top artists chart at #420, he must have from 12,000 to 15,000 people listening to his music weekly. The top artist, Radiohead, has about 125,000 people listening to their music every week. That's our goal!! The dates of these first statistics are rather random. From now on, I will list them at least every four to five weeks.

Great job, thanks! I've totally missed this post but have become interested in stats lately. So, glad you have been collecting the info for us here! For me, when I see stats I automatically want to raise them lol, so more scrobbling for me coming up!

I just posted Kris' two-week Last.fm statistics. With 38,845 plays for a two-week period, if that rate of play continues for the next two weeks, it will be a new record for the number of plays in a four-week period.

I made a bar chart with LaNette's very useful data (thanks LaNette!) and my record from Sept 3:

 

9/03/2011 3,597,100 plays; 154,774 listeners; + 79,996 plays; + 4,058 new listeners

Well done, everyone! I think we should have a post where we get to brag about our play counts. I'm claiming 4k plays in August (and I also got a new fan to join and another fan to start scrobbling again)! :DDD

ps. I suck at math so if you find anything wrong with the chart please let me know!

Love this graph! Everyone has done a great job of keeping up the scrobbling and helping to build buzz on there for KA. Keep it going!
