If you’re interested, these are the top 100 objects tagged in images uploaded by members in 2024 (member albums only; excluding the Section archives).
The observation counts for composite objects like the Virgo Cluster also include observations of their constituent members, so although there aren’t many images explicitly tagged with the Virgo Cluster, it comes 11th because there are many images of the NGC/IC objects within it.
