Crotchety Man Posts Published in 2020
The following tables summarise the Crotchety Man blog posts published in 2020. There is one table for each category: Band/Artist, Album-of-the-Month, Track-of-the-Week and Playlist. Within each table entries are in chronological order.
The stats say there were 56 posts this year, which is roughly on target at just over one a week and slightly up on last year’s 48. The number of visitors (3550) and the number of views (7045) both hit all-time highs. Of course, this year may have been exceptional but this blog looks pretty healthy to me.
