Last.fm’s team have made available a couple of web applications that they put together in their spare time.
The “Playground” currently has three applications which take advantage of the huge amount of music data that last.fm aggregates.
You probably won’t improve your life much with any of these little apps, but they are fun to play with.
Checking the typos of artists names can be a great way to while away the time, but you could also use the info for seo.
Of course if you wanted to manipulate the data yourself they do offer both data feeds and a full API (though there are licensing conditions to be aware of). For the top artists for users in Ireland try this XML feed
