MILCK Instagram – @uscannenberg released research earlier this year. Here’s some of what they found: In 2022, women make up 30% of artists on the Billboard Hot 100 Year-End Chart. Across an 11-year span and 1,100 songs, the overall percentage of female artists was 22.3%— a ratio of 3.5 male artists to every 1 female artist. In 2022, only 12.8% of the songwriters evaluated from the past 11 years were women— a ratio of 6.8 men to every 1 woman songwriter. More than half of songs across 11 years did not credit a woman songwriter. In contrast, less than 1 percent of all songs were missing male songwriters. Additionally, the 12 male songwriters who had the most credits across the sample were collectively responsible for crafting nearly 25% of the 1,100 song sample. **This is why writing camps like the one I joined last week are so important. It’s more than just crediting a woman on a song — it’s about nurturing talent and creating spaces where women can claim meaningful roles.
