We consider a selection of recent experimental results on electroweak$W^{\pm},\,Z$ gauge boson production in $pp$ collisions at BNL RHIC and CERNLHC energies in comparison to prediction of perturbative QCD calculations basedon different sets of NLO parton distribution functions including thestatistical PDF model known from fits to the DIS data. We show that the currentstatistical PDF parameterisation (fitted to the DIS data only) underestimatesthe LHC data on $W^{\pm},\,Z$ gauge boson production cross sections at the NLOby about 20\%. This suggests that there is a need to refit the parameters ofthe statistical PDF including the latest LHC data.

The landscape of $W^{\pm}$ and $Z$ bosons produced in $pp$ collisions up to LHC energies
