 * You are on the right track here. You are just looking for more arguments.
 * The following is pulled directly from the file “wp-includes/default-widgets.php”
   line 234.
 * > <?php wp_get_archives(apply_filters(‘widget_archives_dropdown_args’, array(‘
   > type’ => ‘monthly’, ‘format’ => ‘option’, ‘show_post_count’ => $c))); ?>
 * **$c** is simply a boolean set previously as a widget setting.

 * Try adding this and see if it looks ok to you : &show_post_count=1
 * `<?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly&show_post_count=1'); ?>`
