In 2024, music from all over the world, of every genre, got its chance to shine. Canadian gems like Montreal’s DVTR with BONJOUR (BIS), to Vancouver’s Sunset Rubdown with Always Happy To Explode, punk rock rippers like Chastity’s self-titled album, to the smooth jazz of Jocelyn Gould’s Portrait of Right Now – 2024 was filled with the vibrant variety that we love at Met Radio. Here’s our top 128 for 2024.
