Happy New Year! Well, we're keeping the spirit of '24 little bit longer with the part 2 (of 2) of Top Ragers of 2024! One thing that makes my list different from others is probably the amount of Japanese artists, which for '24 (for this episode and part 1 from last week) is evident, and no surprise either.
