2020 was another stunning year for the Last Day Deaf! With a more than 25% increase in traffic and around 56% obtained by major markets (U.S.A. & U.K.) we couldn’t ask for more! And this is thanks to you, readers, artists, labels etc. But enough with the self-praise and the gratitude, so the following lists show which 2020’s posts (Top-10) were read most during 2020, monthly (January-December), plus the Top-20 most read ones (again taking into consideration only 2020’s posts!), among those that had been published within past 12 months (we also know that many of you are “obsessed” with particular past posts, so keep visiting and help us grow even more!). There you go:
