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](https://github.com/RustyNova016/listenbrainz-cli-tools/releases/tag/v0.2.1). You just have to use this command:
`listenbrainz-cli-tools lookup recording `
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](https://listenbrainz.readthedocs.io/en/latest/users/api/core.html)
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.

I was looking for it today and it is a bummer, honestly! Sometimes I don’t remember if I had listened to an artist before and would navigate to their last.fm pages to see which songs listened previously.
Really hope we would be able to have such a feature one day.
