If i change register a new domain for my current blog, will I keep my stats?
-
I want to move from girlinthegreenhijab.wordpress.com to girlinthegreenhijab.com, but im worried if I make that change then all my stats and sites views will be lost. Can that happen? And is there anyway that I can take my views with me?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

No nothing is lost. Your content stays exactly where it is. All that changes is the URLs and your visitors are seamlessly redirected from the original .wordpress.com URLs to the same content under the new domain URLs.

All About Domains http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/all-about-domains/In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com subdomain blog to map from and the domain name you desire must be available for purchase, or you must already own the domain URL.
You must be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog to access the blog’s dashboard at > Store > My Upgrades to purchase a domain name by purchasing an annually renewable domain mapping upgrade for the blog. See here if you do not own a domain http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/
After you do the primary blog set up it can take between 24 – 72 hours for domain name propagation to take place throughout the internet. You can view the DNS changes here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/ What’s important during that stage is to be patient.

Thank so much!
I get that my content will stay the same, its just my site view/page views that im concerned about. So you are certain my sites stats will stay at the same number as it is right now, it wont move back to nil after moving over?Sorry for being a nag, but its really important for me to keep my stats for companies who want to work with me :)

Yep, timethief is correct! :) Adding a custom domain name will change the address that visitor’s see in their browser’s address bar, but it won’t make any changes to things behind the scenes. That includes your site stats: https://wordpress.com/my-stats/
Please let me know if you have any questions about that. :)
