HANSON: If These Walls Could Talk
New Year, New Features!
The purge of accounts of those who did not log in during the 2025 calendar year has been completed. If your account got deleted but that was not your intention, no worries, you are free to create a new account, just be sure to log in at least one time per calendar year to keep it considered “active”.
There have been some updates made to the Members area of the site – once you log in and go to Members > Show Counts & Stats you’ll see your shows in a more organized table
With your stats displayed at the bottom of the list
The album stats have also gotten a big of a facelift:
Songs by tour also now has the stat cards at the top of the page(s)
And Songs Heard [Most to Least] has gotten a major overhaul and now lets you play around with stats as well!
When you are logged in and go to setlists, you’ll see links to other users who have also attended that show and have their profile set to public
If you click on the link, it will show you what shows you both were at [Mutual shows counts does not yet take into account adjustments for BTTI, MOE, Disney days but we’re hoping to have that worked out eventually!]
If you click their username at the top of this page, it will show you their public profile of all of their concert stats! (Please note, some achievements are not available at the moment but we hope to have them back in some capacity in the next few months as we continue to update the site!)
So be sure to login and take a look around… and guess what – it’s 2026 and with things looking like they may be a bit slower this year, you’ll get your 2026 log in out of the way 😉 We are still working on speeding up some of those slower loading sites and making things look a bit nicer and work more efficiently – as always if you notice anything is off, let us know at blog@hansonstage.com and we’ll look into it!
