If you are a user of my nationality statistics, some of your artists may get classified as ‘Unknown’.  The main problem here is that your artist is not tagged with its nation on Last.fm (if you have other problems, mail me). In the following text I will describe how to tag the artist correctly. If the artist’s nation is still classified faulty after 1 week, just let me know.

First we have to identify which artists are unknown, for this we enter our username in the Last.fm nationality statistics page and after we have received the result we sort the artists in descending order after their country.

Now we see that ‘Ringo vs. Paul’ is listed who are from Germany but listed as ‘Unknown’. By clicking on the artist, we will be redirected to the artist page on Last.fm.

As you may see, I am using the german version of Last.fm, but it doesn’t matter in which language you use it.

Below the description of the artist, the most used tags are listed. Here we do not see any tag that reminds us of Germany and so we need to add some that do. This can be done on the tag overview page which we reach clicking on More… or Mehr… (depending on your Last.fm language).

On this page, you see that the city Jena is listed which identifies the artist as Germany. But as cities are not often recognized by my app, you should add here some tags that are very close related to the country. In this case we add ‘Germany’ and ‘german’ and their corresponding translations.

That’s it. Please remind that changes need up to one week to be incorporated into the results as there are many levels of caching done in between.
