Women’s underrepresentation in the music

industry
1. In the top 10 global songs there's a proportion of 1:1 between women and men artists,
excluding collabs between women and men. But if we explore and analyze the top 50,
there's a proportion of 2:1, having a larger number of men.
2. Because of the fact that in production companies there are a higher number of men
running things, they have a preference towards men artists, them being in higher
positions making it hard to penetrate that world. Another aspect that may be
influential is marketing and the recognition women songwriters receive. In some
music they don’t even credit the writer, and this lack of recognition would make it
hard for them to reach new and bigger audiences.
