Hello,
It appears my ListenBrainz stats may have been incorrectly generated recently. Songs that I heard not last week as my top of that week. My top songs of “This Month” suddenly shifted a whole lot after the month turned, and “This Month” became “Last Month.” It looked a lot more like January instead. Not sure what could be going on here. Maybe a confusion between February and January?
Thank you for your time,
Whimsical6
Edit: It appears the stats have updated. Last month’s stats now better match what I would expect of February, rather than resemble January.
Thanks, whoever worked on this mysterious (to me) issue. I’m curious as to what happened, but also glad it got solved!
It appears this issue has come back, where the statistics for “Last Month” remind me more of the month before it. Not sure if it is a delay of some sorts. I know it can take a bit sometimes to update. But a week is quite a while, which leads me to believe it might not be the usual “delay”.
I can kinda work out the statistics by using the local alistral database on my machine (or I guess I could also use the ListenBrainz API). Which seems to confirm that the stats are indeed not representative of the previous month’s listening stats.
Edit: the “How and when are statistics calculated?” popup says “if you encounter an issue please contact us.” Perhaps I should try that, rather than posting on the forums

Sometimes a process gets stuck and doesn’t update/run properly - I suspect this is usually what happens, and then everything is ‘fixed’ in the next stat run. We had a process get stuck again recently, which may have caused this.
@lucifer will be able to confirm.

My stats have been incorrect lately as well. It’s including artists I didn’t listen to during that time period, and it appears to be over-counting some scrobbles.
As an example, it says I listened to Bellini 30 times last week, when in reality it was only 10. The previous week it said I listened to Bellini 20 times, when I didn’t listen to them at all that week.
