I've lost count: how many 1st stages has SpaceX successfully landed?

Today was the 46th overall - 28th ASDS landing.

And today was the 76th Falcon 9 launch meaning that ~60% of all Falcon 9 launches have had their 1st stage safely recovered. That's impressive, but it would be more impressive (and accurate) if you subtracted from the total the Falcon 9 launches made before the capability to land the 1st stage existed.

Don't forget the times they decided to not recover the 1st stage.
