An alarming report shows a steep drop in radio airplay for women on country stations from 2000 to 2018 — and it's killing their careers.
There's been a real battle for female artists to get heard on mainstream country radio for about 4-5 years now. A recent study shows that despite a lot of activism around this issue by female country artists the trend is still getting worse. You now have to sit through 44 songs to hear a single song by a female artist on country radio.
"I felt that the Grammys this year were a glimmer of hope," Brandi Carlile said, "not just because of my nominations, but because they addressed the problem of the internalized and institutionalized misogyny that we are all trying to overcome."
Brandi, on the current state of country music:
[I] never thought it would get worse — that we’d be here, 20 years down the road, looking at music and going, “Oh my God, it’s the first two months in a row that there’s no women in country music in the top 20.” And some of these festivals [that I am playing], that’s really my world. … You go into their headlining stats, it’s abysmal, probably well below 10 percent. I’m raising two daughters from that realization, and it’s a real letdown from 1999. But I felt that the Grammys this year were a glimmer of hope — not just because of my nominations, but because they addressed the problem of the internalized and institutionalized misogyny that we are all trying to overcome.
"People just want to connect to music that makes them feel something," Kacey Musgraves says of the response to her acclaimed third album
What’s the hardest part about being a woman in music?
Unequal pay, unequal festival billing, unequal radio play. Having to work that much harder to overcome all of those unfortunate and archaic deficits.
When song suffragettes covers Better Man by Little Big Town and shoutout @taylorswift for writing a killer song and for inspiring them all.
YAAAAAAS WOMEN SUPPORTING WOMEN MAKING COUNTRY MUSIC!
Since winning Season 3 of NBC's The Voice in 2012, singer-songwriter Cassadee Pope has had some impressive achievements, both in and out of the country genre. She's released her first full length debut album, debuted a platinum selling single,…
“I think now more than ever I don’t care about the mold that I should be fitting in country music, because there are so many people that are breaking it, specifically men," says Pope, speaking over the phone recently. "There are a lot of men on country radio that are very pop and very rock and I just feel like, well if they can do that then I’m gonna do it, and it shouldn’t matter that I’m a girl."
When the 50th annual Country Radio Seminar convenes in Nashville Feb. 13-15, terrestrial programmers will likely be talking mightily about a subject that's not officially on the agenda.
Since its launch on Nov. 4, 2015, RDC has made women the focus of its programming. In fact, the top 12 tracks on its Jan. 14 playlist all have a prominent female voice: Eight were recorded by female acts; the other four are male acts with women as a featured guest. Disney's latest internal research claims RDC piles up 12 million-15 million listeners per month, and the artists certainly know it makes a difference. Tenille Arts, for example, saw YouTube plays of her current single, "I Hate This," jump from about 35,000 to 200,000 in the two weeks after its No. 1 peak on the RDC playlist.
RDC's success ought to provide some consternation for traditional country broadcasters.
"It's hogwash that women don't want to hear women and women don't support women," says Disney Channels Worldwide vp music strategy Phil Guerini. He points in particular to the RDC-sponsored stages at CMA Music Festival, which have become some of the best-attended presentations in the festival's Fan Fair X exhibit hall at the Music City Center and provide face-to-face experience with ardent country fans.

The country star just released her first single off of her highly anticipated sophomore album.
“I was thinking about it when I was choosing this as the first single. It’s kind of ironically hilarious that you can look at the country chart at any given moment and see there are tons of song titles with the world ‘girl’ in them, and they’re all by men,” Morris said. (Currently, the chart includes Dustin Lynch’s “Good Girl”; Jason Aldean’s “Girl Like You” and Riley Green’s “There Was This Girl.”) “Wouldn’t it be funny and really taking it to the next level if a girl released a song just called ‘Girl’?”
Talks Forever Creative Partnership with Jeremy Ivey
We recommend reading this entire piece, but here is our favorite part: “I think that for so long women have been put against each other,” Price says. “Instead of it being a competition, we should support each other. I’m trying to bring out more opening acts who are women, too, because I know how hard it is.
“A lot of people think a bill with two women is not going to sell as many tickets. It’s just not true. I wanted Lily Hiatt to come out with me. She’s an amazing writer and performer.
“I hope to encourage more girls to get out and follow this crazy dream, even if you’re not getting the same radio play, even if you’re not getting the same pay, even if you’re not getting the same festival billing, there is still a way to make a living at it. And it’s a lot of hard work, but it’s rewarding.”

Maren Morris is one of a few female artists who has consistently found success on the charts in [...]
"I'm so appreciative of the success I'm having right now, and I never want to make it sound like I'm sad about it," Morris shared on the Ty Bentli Show. "But I am very concerned for my friends that are putting great music out that are women. It's so confusing. I'm very proud when they told me I was the most played woman on the radio, country radio, this past year.
"That's such a huge honor," she continued, "but I also am like, 'Where's Carly [Pearce]? Where's Cassadee [Pope]? Where's RaeLynn?' I want those people to be championed as well.”
We do, too, Maren. We do, too.
Miranda Lambert, Ashley Monroe, and Angaleena Presley are so consistent and prolific, independently and in their supertrio, they elicit hyperbole.
There’s really nothing I can add to this piece that isn’t already said. The Pistol Annies are hands down one of the best musical collaborations OF ALL TIME. A great read about these fine ladies of country that you should read.
It’s no secret that these days, the female voices of country music struggle for airplay on country radio. But in 2018, some of pop music’s hottest male artists proved they knew exactly what to do with the women of country: duet with them and tour the world with them. Maren’s in “The Middle,” Kacey’s Golden Not only was Maren [...]
Given the continuing lack of space for women on the country airwaves, so many talented women of country are turning to pop collaborations to build their customer base and get the touring attention radio play they deserve. While I love getting to hear more from artists like Kacey Musgraves, Cam, and Maren Morris, it’s disappointing to think that this is the only space. For us, it only underlines the big question: WHAT DOES A FEMALE ARTIST HAVE TO DO TO FIND SUPPORT IN THE COUNTRY MUSIC INDUSTRY?
One year ago today, the all-female, singer-songwriter collective Song Suffragettes released the original song and music video for Time's Up, a musical nod to the female empowerment movement that began in January of 2018. The song went on to receive major media coverage, critical accolades and ultimately raised $10,000 for the Time's Up Legal Defense Fund through single sales and streaming. In celebration of this anniversary, Song Suffragettes just released 'Time's Up' The Story Behind The Song via their YouTube page which has amassed over 2.6 million views to date.
