      Taylor Swift may be Spotify’s most-streamed artist of 2024, but she’s still an outlier in an industry dominated by men. A study [we](https://www.datapulse.de/en/) did together with the piano learning app Skoove, revealed that nearly 80% of the top 1,000 Spotify artists are male, while women represent just 20%, and non-binary artists a mere 0.4%.

      The imbalance extends beyond Spotify. On the Billboard Hot 100, the gender gap among songwriters is even starker—6 to 1 in favor of men.

      As Swift breaks records and reigns supreme, the question remains: When will the industry amplify all voices? 🎙️

      Or we just let people listen what they enjoy and not try to enforce some ratio?

      Let’s keep it this way – let’s listen to whatever we want to listen without anyone telling us it’s a problem

      Now give us the make up of the listeners… I believe there’s a bias among women to listen to male artists also.

      A music career requires a degree of risk that most sensible women don’t think is worth it. Men are much more likely to take such risks. I can source the data but this is generally known to be true.

      Now do one for garbage collectors, commercial fishers, coal miners, loggers and roofers.

      Balance the gender ratio for all jobs if you want to be consistent.

      Damn, didn’t know I’m biased because I don’t specifically seek out music from different producers. Fuck me for enjoying something because it sounds good for me

      Your graph shows that the songwriters, i.e. the people who do most of the hard work behind the scenes and get little money or credit for it, are more overwhelmingly male than the ‘artists’.

      Doesn’t that prove that men are just more likely to be interested in making music? If anything, your data shows that if you’re a woman, you’re relatively more likely to be in the spotlight.

      It’s almost like talent drives what people listen to, not their skin or genitalia
