The US has performed almost 10,000 nuclear tests, one can assume that the USSR has also performed a similar number. No other countries have performed more than a couple hundred nuclear tests.
Not all of these tests produced a nuclear explosion (e.g. some failed, some were "safety tests" designed to prove that safety systems would prevent an unwanted explosion, some were subcritical tests), but even then we are talking about many thousands of nuclear explosions. Much of this information is still classified and thus not publicly available.
Then there were the three bombs exploded during World War 2: the Trinity Test in New Mexico and the two bombs dropped in combat over Japan (Hiroshima & Nagasaki).
