Laravel 5.5 Console TV Bar Chart High Charts multipleDatasets and label - php

Question

I have a Laravel 5.5 app that used this ConsoleTV Chart Package I used a barchart to visualize my data in a monthly report basis. I have the following query below.
$dt = Carbon::now()->year;
$anRequest = AnalysisRequest::where(DB::raw("(DATE_FORMAT(created_at,'%Y'))"),date('Y'))->orderBy('service_id')
->get();
and in my chart
$barChart = Charts::database($anRequest, 'bar', 'highcharts')
->title("Monthly service request")
->elementLabel("Total requests")
->dimensions(1000, 500)
->responsive(false)
->groupByMonth(date('Y'), true);
This code is working perfectly fine and display all the data in by month but how can I add another dataSets or multipleDataSets instead of just having one sets of data to visualize.
For example I will have another query from the AnalysisRequest but with a specific resources.
Sample code below using multi
The query
$tags_jan = DB::table('tags')->whereYear('created_at', $dt)->whereMonth('created_at', '1')->count();
$tags_feb = DB::table('tags')->whereYear('created_at', $dt)->whereMonth('created_at', '2')->count();
$tags_mar = DB::table('tags')->whereYear('created_at', $dt)->whereMonth('created_at', '3')->count();
// and the list goes on which is bad
The charts using multi
$chart = Charts::multi('bar', 'highcharts')
// Setup the chart settings
->title("Total Reports for this year")
// A dimension of 0 means it will take 100% of the space
->dimensions(0, 400) // Width x Height
// This defines a preset of colors already done:)
// ->template("material")
// ->responsive(true)
// You could always set them manually
// ->colors(['#2196F3', '#F44336', '#FFC107'])
// Setup the diferent datasets (this is a multi chart)
->colors(['green', 'aqua', 'red', 'yellow'])
->dataset('Ads', [$ads_jan,$ads_feb,$ads_mar,$ads_apr,$ads_may,$ads_june,$ads_july,$ads_aug,$ads_sept,$ads_oct,$ads_nov,$ads_dec])
->dataset('Channels', [$channels_jan,$channels_feb,$channels_mar,$channels_apr,$channels_may,$channels_june,$channels_july,$channels_aug,$channels_sept,$channels_oct,$channels_nov,$channels_dec])
->dataset('Shows', [$shows_jan,$shows_feb,$shows_mar,$shows_apr,$shows_may,$shows_june,$shows_july,$shows_aug,$shows_sept,$shows_oct,$shows_nov,$shows_dec])
->dataset('Tags', [$tags_jan,$tags_feb,$tags_mar,$tags_apr,$tags_may,$tags_june,$tags_july,$tags_aug,$tags_sept,$tags_oct,$tags_nov,$tags_dec])
This code above also works fine but as you can see in the variable I am querying for each month for this year which is isn't quite good. How can I simplified this query or another way to solve this using multiple dataSets?
Appreciate if someone could help.
Thanks in advance.

The following code can be added after you have queried your database and you would like to post different graphs to the same view, I was using the code to plot a barchart and line chart on the same graph as specified below........ look at the dataset position 2 its line and bar
$chart = new unclaimed;
$chart->labels( $days );
$chart->dataset('Daily Visitors Bar', 'bar', $totalNumber )->color('white')->backgroundColor(['#009900','#8a8a5c','#f1c40f','#e67e22','#16a085','#2980b9']);
$chart->dataset('Daily Visitors Line', 'line', $totalNumber )->color('black') ->fill(false)->backgroundColor(['##8a8a5c','009900','#f1c40f','#e67e22','#16a085','#2980b9']);
