Last.fm Historical Charts v2

I updated my historical charts program to allow album and track charts, make it utf8 compatible and give it a graphical overhaul too, hurrahs all round.

Same process as before – when you first create each kind of chart it’ll take a while to fetch your data, subsequent charts will be created a whole lot faster. Eventually I’ll make a script to purge the data stored for anybody who hasn’t used the program in a couple of months so keep popping back if you get fed up with the waits.

As always comments are welcome. Oh and suggestions for a better name too..

    Hey, like the new update but is there any chance you could make it show how many tracks were listened to in a particular year again? It might still be there but I can’t seem to find it- was handy knowing that I listened to twice as much in 2005 than 2007.

    Yay! for the new version of the Historical Charts. It contains both features I missed (tracks and speical character support) now :) I use your system every now and then and find it very handy for some extra stats. Keep up the good work!

    i’ve been looking for something like this! it’s amazing man. it’s useful for me since i needed a kind of monthly chart for a personal project. i had to convert the data from xml to html for every weekly chart to make up for a whole month which was a pain in the ass really. i don’t know much about programming so this is exactly what i needed. by the way, could it be possible to add some kind of format so the data can be manipulated? let’s say, txt at least?

    Is it possible to realize your fantastic tool for groups (the set of group members)?

    Hey, I’ve been looking for one of these (to make mixtapes, for the record)… Nice work!

    Well, too nice maybe. My connection hung the first time I tried using it and so it shows no data up to that date. Is there any way to do a full data reload. (Try it for yourself, user: redmos!)

    Anyway, it’s still a cool app. I just hope I can use it!

    Cheers!

    Sorted. Maybe there should be an option to force these things, but it’s quite bandwidth/processor intensive.

    Hi there, not meaning to rush you but will the charts be updated again? Would like to see my end of year stats :)

    Keep up the good work, if you let this site die I will hunt you down. ;) Bye!

    It’s out of my control – Last.fm haven’t released the charts themselves yet. There’s a thread on Last.fm here.

    And as for keeping it going .. I’ve got an update coming in the next couple of weeks you’ll like :-)
