The Mostly Music 2024 Playlist, Pt. 2 (Updated 3/10/24)
I have started part 2 of the playlist. There have been so many releases already this year. I decided doing two months’ worth of singles per playlist (in this case, 8 hours and 37 minutes of music) is more digestible than three or four months to most listeners.
