Write a review
After four decades of male supremacy on the charts, women such as Madonna, Celine Dion, Alanis Morissette, LeAnn Rimes, Jewel, Deana Carter, and the Spice Girls are leading the way to an unexpected future for the music industry…
For the first time in the American music industry, female recording artists are dominating the Top 20 album charts, outshining their male counterparts by a ratio of as great as seven to one. Moreover, women are more prominent behind the scenes - as talent managers and label executives - than ever before. This book analyzes this dramatic change. With analysis of the sest-selling albums, and interviews with key players, it offers an explanation of how and why this trend began, as well as its effects on tomorrow's music.
