Hi,
I may be missing something but is it possible to see how many listens you have for a band without going to the stats page and sifting through Top artists of All Time? Say, clicking on a band displays how many plays that you have along with the other info?
Sadly this isn’t possible right now – we’ve not calculated the data for this. And to make matters worse, that is a big job. 
Have to be one of the top nine listeners for the count to appear

+1 from me.
Will try to make a script for it soon!
I think it would be cool to have the number of listens on individual recordings too.
I know I said “Soon”, but doing it for recordings made me stuck in refactoring hell…
Anyways, for recordings it’s quite simple when using listenbrainz-cli-tools. You just have to use this command:
listenbrainz-cli-tools lookup <USERNAME> recording <ID>
For example:
listenbrainz-cli-tools lookup RustyNova recording https://musicbrainz.org/recording/aae44009-6745-40ae-a477-f215c4f76488
It gives more than just the listen count too, like first listen date or average listen rate, so can be interesting to check it nonetheless.
isnt’t there a way to use the api to fetch the artist listens for a user? (i could not find it)
something like:
/1/user/(user_name)/listen-count/(artist_mbid)
Sadly not. You might be thinking about the api to fetch the global stats of an artist that got made recently?
yes,
this one Core — ListenBrainz 0.1.0 documentation
i saw it has /1/user/(user_name )/listen-count (which is a users overal listen-count)
if it had an extra parameter for the artist then it might get solved with a userscript i guess…

And we probably won’t have any time soon. I guess the best is to fetch our listens and calculate it ourselves.
