The Music Industry Is a Sausage Fest, and This Study Proves It

Chasteness, Soda Pop, and Show Tunes: The Lost Story of the Young Americans and the Choircore Movement

An analysis of the Hot 100 chart isn’t a perfect approach, the researchers acknowledge. It focuses only on the biggest and most popular songs released in a given year, but as the Annenberg team says, their methods reflect which songs are championed most and have gotten the most resources. Dr. Katherine Pieper, the co-author for this year’s study, says the toxic environment women in the music industry face is a key factor in a lack of improvement. Recruiting, retaining, and growing a stronger base of women in the recording studio can’t happen if women aren’t looked at as equals, she says. “Women are sexualized and stereotyped, they are dismissed, and they are not seen as leaders in their roles,” Pieper says, citing issues women have reported to them in previous studies.

If you listen to song play on radio, male singers get more airplay than female singers, even though the female singers are vastly more talented than the male singers regardless of genre.

Imagine being snubbed at the Grammy's because an artists' collaborators didnt include —as per the industries legislated promise—at least 13% native american representation.
