How do I find out the Most Played Artists in Apple Music

I don't subscribe to Apple Music or use the cloud to keep my music but I would like to find out my most played artists in Apple Music which I use from my own collection.


There used to be a script from someone on the internet I used to run but it doesn't work anymore but surely there must be some way of analysing your iTunes / Apple Music to get some data from it, like most played artists which adds all the songs by an artist and then makes a list.


I can find out most played song from the app itself and create some playlist for different periods etc but the data side of things is pretty poor.


Not sure if there is anything out there?

Music (and iTunes before it) have never done anything to support interesting stats like that.


You might look into last.fm, which allows you to log (they call it "scrobble") each play from any player and generate reports. For example, below are my top 10 most played artists from the last 7 days.
