This Report is based on British domestic only artists and those whose songs are registered on Radiomonitor. Radiomonitor is the industry standard music airplay monitoring service used by Record labels, Management companies and PR companies in the music industry to evaluate the airtime allocated to artists/bands who have commercial releases in the British market, and whose music is issued to British radio seeking radio airplay. All the radio data in this report is taken from Radiomonitor.
For the purpose of gender disparity reporting, all songs have been categorised as either Female, Male or Collab.
This report was compiled by music industry consultant & publicist Linda Coogan Byrne with contributions by Nadia Khan of Women In CTRL an NPO for women in music.
