that provides a shortcode that will display charts 
of your Last.fm music-listening data. This plugin uses the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/easy-chart-builder/" rel="ugc">Easy Chart Builder plugin</a> by <a href="https://profiles.wordpress.org/dyerware/" rel="nofollow ugc">dyerware</a> to create charts, so
