How to become a top fan in last fm

Simple guide for fans who wonders about How to become a top fan in last fm.

Last.fm formerly Audioscrobbler, is an Internet radio station and music recommendation system that merged with sister site Audioscrobbler in August 2005.

The system builds a detailed profile of each user’s musical taste, showing their *favorite artists* and songs on a customizable profile web page, comprising the songs played on its stations selected via a collaborative filter, or optionally, recorded by a Last.fm plugin installed into its users’ music playing application.

Last.fm creates many charts as part of its profile building. Users have several different charts available, including Top Artists, Top Tracks, and Top Albums, as well as Weekly Top Artists and Weekly Top Tracks. Each of these charts is based on the actual number of plays recorded either through an Audioscrobbler plugin or the Last.fm radio stream.

Artist profiles also keep track of a short list of Top Fans, which is _calculated by a formula meant to portray the importance of an artist in a fan’s own profile_, balancing out users who play hundreds of tracks overall versus those who play only a few.

Top fans data is collected and recalculated every week, so if you want to stay at Top fan list every week, you have to listen to *Your favourite band* about 200 tracks per week, and beware of other music, this can lower percentage of *Your favourite band* in particular week.

So if you want to become top fan in last.fm, your percentage of *Your favourite band* must be higher than that of fans in Top fan in artist profile.
