CJLO YEAR END TOP 100 OF 2024

December 19 2024 // Aviva Majerczyk // CJLO

We’ve made it to the end of 2024! It’s been a HUGE year here at CJLO. We put out over 25 Live from the Oven sessions and even more interviews and show takeovers. Funding Drive was one of biggest successes to date, raising over $13,000 for the station! 2024 also saw more original journalism published at the station than ever before. With help from the Community Radio Fund of Canada, CJLO was able to launch the Discordia series, which will be going strong through 2025. Further, CJLO’s schedule is now jam-packed with brand new shows, and volunteers are buzzing around the station in ways we haven’t seen since pre-Covid. But we’re not stopping anytime soon. Just on the other side of the new year, we’re celebrating the station’s 25th anniversary with a party at La Sala Rossa on January 10th. Come join us to toast everything we’ve accomplished in 2024 and all these past years!

This list shows the top 100 albums that were played by our DJs over 2024. Grabbing the top spot is local band The Wesleys, who are truly a part of the CJLO family. All through our top 100 are amazing Montreal artists such as Knitting, Laughing, Clay Pigeon, Amery, Alix Fernz, Bibi Club, and many, many more. Some of this year’s hottest albums inspired our DJs as well, with viral releases like Charli XCX’s Brat and MJ Lenderman’s Manning Fireworks playing week after week. 

You can listen to a selection of our top 100 of 2024 on CJLO’s Spotify.

Stay tuned for everything your favourite campus-community radio station has in store for 2025!
