of the first half of 2020, female artists are vastly underrepresented. Among the Top 100, there are only 19 songs and 17 albums by women.
When compared with all of 2019, the number of woman-led songs is down by seven percent. The number of woman-led albums, meanwhile, has increased by one. The midyear songs and albums rankings are measured by song and album units, which combine sales and on-demand audio streams using a custom weighting system, and does not include passive listening such as terrestrial radio or digital radio.
On the songs chart, Dua Lipa prevails at Number Four with her smash “Don’t Start Now.” She’s immediately followed by Doja Cat’s “Say So” and Megan Thee Stallion’s “Savage” at Number Five and Number Six, respectively. Here, the Top 10 also holds Tones and I’s viral hit “Dance Monkey” at Number Eight. So even though 40 percent of Top 10 songs are by women, the 100-song chart is only 19 percent female.
, which was released more than a year ago, sits at Number Nine. Eilish is also the sole woman with two entries on the album chart — herEven though Lady Gaga and Selena Gomez are the only women whose 2020 albums debuted at Number One on release week, both artists are relatively low on the year-so-far chart.
Do better.
Cause singing is secondary now. Being too talented makes you intimidating and unrelatable. Kids hate it when you are too good at something. So they spend on mediocrity instead.
And......? If they want to be on the top 20 they can write better songs period.
Start a woman's lives matter movement.
Then women should make better music ...
Gender boxing is so 2000s.
What says they should? It's not a contest.
Your focusing more on weather it’s a woman or man and your missing the actual songs! It doesn’t matter what your colour or gender is to be a musician...it’s a song! ♥️✨
Produce music with good song writing .. nobody really wants to listen to the cookie cutter cheer leader beep squeak garbage anymore 😂
Stop telling people what to listen to lol Half the mainstream music is ass
Whats all this bullshit...even this is turned into a women - men competition? 20%, 50% - who the hell cares.
Your most clickbaity headline to date...congrats?
Music in general is very poor at the minute and has unfortunately been this way for a long time. It just so happens the music made by women mustn't be as good ( in the people who are buying its eyes) as the male equivalent. What do the charts mean these days anyway ?
Ok...
What did you expect?shes isnt norah jones.
The charts use to mean something, they don't anymore. There are plenty of female artists who should be having hits. Pheobe Bridgers, Waxahatchee, Weyes Blood, but they are all ignored and ex Disney and Nicolodeon actresses are promoted instead, makes no sense
who cares about their gender. If you make good music, you will be at the top of the charts.
Looking at billieeilish makes me want to throw up. Wipe that bitch off iTunes , SpotifyUSA , pandoramusic and youtubemusic , nobody wants to hear her ASMR whispering in music! Nine Inch Nails could defeat her.
Herrow what seems to b probrem, dudes arrays
I find that about 80% of all new music I like is by women.
So? What are you gonna do? Force people to listen to their bad music?
Good songs are good songs. Who gives a shit if the writer/performer has a vagina?
The Black Eyed Peas are on the Billboard top 100 right now so don’t even argue its worth paying attention to the music charts. Music is music, just listen to what you like. There are tons of great female artists out there, it’s just that a few certain genres dominate the charts
On another note, why does Billie look so mad? 😳
Why are you tweeting this again? Like I don’t even understand why this is a thing?
👏👏👏👏👏👏
So?
It’s probably because the songs suck not because they are women..These headlines are getting old.
Who gives a shit about gender?
Been going on for years, not just women but people with talent . It’s up to people to reach out and try new artists instead of being spoon fed by mainstream. Rolling stone your are partly to blame .
Fans can access music in many ways and it’s super easy to listen to what you like.There are just as many female music fans as there are male.If fans are listening to more male artists than female could it be that it’s because they prefer it?Not because females are not played.🤷♂️🧐
They have 100% of the songs in my Spotify top 20
Who is counting?
🤷🏽♂️
We don't need this utter shit right now.
The music has to actually be good.
Music listeners are sexist... everyone knows this
She looks tired
it should be an honor not to appear in the charts these days. male or female, its all just bullshit. they're all in it to be pop-stars. nobody really cares about music and that's how it sounds.
Wow.
Yet MissMargoPrice, sopharela (Soccer Mommy) and phoebe_bridgers still easily manage to have 3 of the best albums of the year.
Well, a lot of woman rely on how they look when they play music and it takes away from their creation. Or they mirror the past and only seem new to people with no music knowledge.
Cancel music
Since when there's a quota?
God your magazine is such a joke.
Ok, so?
Maybe women should write better songs.
Avenue Beat F2020 is my theme song for 2020. Hoodcelebrity is my summer jam, janelle Monae and Noname have been played daily by me. We trying to get them up there. The takent is 🔥
So? Then put out quality material people will buy!!
Maybe the in crowd is actually starting to listen to good music 🤷🏻♂️
Support women in music 💪🏼
opiod or just pot eyes?
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA BABIE WANT BOTTTLEE
Hillbilly Eyelash doesn’t need to be in the Top 20
