2024 review: part 5, music

Year in review of music! 2024 edition.

Last but not least, music! Since I’m actually scrobbling again (or whatever you’d like to call it for ListenBrainz instead) the list actually has SOME data. I don’t do spotify, this is what you get.

Notable callouts: City Girl’s new album dropped in December, and so did a new people you meet outside of bars. One of them had enough time to make the top 10, the other did not, and that’s tragic, but both are great.
