On the last day of Women’s History Month, results of a new research report reveal from theInclusion Initiative concludes that, for women in music, “the last decade has been one of insignificant change in the recording studio.”
In contrast to the lack of women artists, artists from underrepresented racial/ ethnic groups represented over half of 2021’s artists . Across the decade examined, people of color represented 47.8% of the more than 1,900 artists on the Billboard Hot 100 Year-End Charts. This overall percentage masks an over-time increase, however. While the percentage of underrepresented artists peaked in 2020 at 59%, 2021 is still 18.
In 2021, 14.4% of songwriters were women — a figure that has not changed over time. Women comprised only 12.7% of the songwriters evaluated across all 10 years studied, a ratio of 6.8 men to every 1 woman songwriter. More than half of the songs on the Billboard Hot 100 Year-End Charts from 2012 to 2021 did not include any women songwriters.
The study also investigates one solution that has been attempted to address the lack of women engineers and producers across popular songs: the Recording Academy’s Women in the Mix campaign, launched in 2019. Across the Hot 100 Year-End Songs in 2021, there were two women producers and engineers whose work could be potentially attributed to the Women in the Mix pledge. One, Ariana Grande, produced and engineered her own songs alongside two other pledge-takers.
The report also updates last year’s analysis of 10 years of Grammy nominations across five categories. 14.2% of all nominees in 2022 in the five categories examined were women. In 2022, the percentage of women nominees decreased compared to 2021 . This decrease occurred across four categories. As in 2021 and eight of the previous 10 years, no women were nominated for Producer of the Year.
