In 2024, I uploaded a total of 44 videos to my YouTube channel, ranging in length from 3 minutes to 32 minutes. I've arranged the list of them below according to how many views that they have received so far (as of December 31, 2024), from highest number of views to lowest.
In January and February 2024, I didn't upload any videos at all. I uploaded three videos in March, two in April, and only one in May. So, five months into 2024, I had uploaded a total of only six videos. In June I decided to pick up the pace a bit, and began adding videos more regularly to the channel.
Most of the videos that I uploaded this year were reviews of brand-new comic books that I had bought, since I had recently begun buying new comics regularly again. I decided to "brand" the videos with the word "New review" at the beginning of each video's title, made a playlist for them, and created similar-looking thumbnail images to accompany each of these review videos. Once I got in the habit of doing that, it became easier to do more videos.
In past years I have done a lot of videos about various topics that interest me at the moment -- topics that are barely represented among this year's videos (such as my ongoing "My Romance Novel Collection," which didn't see an episode in 2024 since I didn't acquire any novels during the year that I felt warranted a video about them).
I didn't bother doing a list like this in 2023 because that year I only uploaded around 13 videos during the entire year. The year before, however, I had uploaded 50 videos -- some of them over two hours long -- and compiled a list ranking their views that you can read here. Their viewing numbers are more impressive than subsequent years' views have been.
Anyway, with that introduction out of the way, here's the list. The bolded phrase is the title of the video, which often includes the date of the comic book's release (in bold type). The date shown after the title, in non-bold type, is the day on which the video was posted to YouTube. This is followed by the number of views that the video had received by the end of 2024.
