Update: It's working again. - May 6, 2010 This is not working because the last.fm API is no longer providing play count numbers. - Feb. 1 2010

last.fm, jquery, google chart mashup

March 25, 2009

I had this code sitting around for a while in the hope of building something more out of it. However, since my code just kept sitting there, I figured I'll just post what I have in order to get the ball rolling.

I'm using jQuery to combine the last.fm API with the google charts API. Click on an artist below to see their top songs displayed on a google pie chart. The last.fm api method being used is artist.getTopTracks, which gets the top tracks based on their popularity within last.fm.

  1. The Clash
  2. Charlie Parker
  3. The Strokes
  4. Velvet Underground
  5. Los Lobos
  6. The Pixies
  7. Louis Armstrong
  8. Billy Joe Shaver
  9. Buju Banton
  10. Neil Diamond
