[FIXED] How to add bar labels to a histogram on Matplotlib?

Issue

Using the Fifa 19 dataset, I'm trying to place the number of players within specific skill score intervals as labels on a histogram graph.

I'm reading the CSV file locally, although I put the URL link below to exemplify.

import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

fifa_df = pd.read_csv('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/KeithGalli/matplotlib_tutorial/master/fifa_data.csv')

bins = np.arange(40,101,10)

plt.figure(figsize=(8,5), dpi=300)
bar_plot = plt.hist(fifa_df['Overall'], bins=bins)
plt.bar_label(bar_plot)
plt.xticks(bins)

plt.show()

This is the error I'm getting:

AttributeError: 'tuple' object has no attribute 'patches'

I need help with the error and also the logic of this function (I'm new to pyplot). I read answers to other questions and I don't quite seem to find the proper solution.

Solution

Change bar_plot = plt.hist(fifa_df['Overall'], bins=bins) to count, n_bins, bar_plot = plt.hist(fifa_df['Overall'], bins=bins)

The plt.hist returns a tuple of things, instead of the container you need for bar_label.
