Image: Instagram/Souleofficial A NEW ANALYSIS of airplay on Irish radio has shown a dramatic disparity between the broadcast of male and female Irish artists.

The research found that, out of the top 20 Irish artists across 28 music-paying radio stations encompassing 560 artists, just 41 are female.The Cranberries, featuring the late Dolores O’Riordan, make up six entries on the 41 female-featured artists. Soulé accounts for nine of those entries.Of the remainder that did feature a female artist, most had just one woman in the top 20.

That occured on RTÉ Radio One with Katie Theasby’s If I Go Sailing, Bronagh Gallagher’s Greatest Love and on Midwest Radio with Claudia Buckley’s Diane and The Murphy’s Dancing With The Fisherman. #Open journalism No news is bad news Support The Journal Your contributions will help us continue to deliver the stories that are important to youIn the report, Coogan Byrne outlines that the research uses Radiomonitor to register the airplay.
