March 25, 2021 – Women In Music: Challenging the Industry To Do Better
TuneCore has partnered with renowned technology and media analysis firm MIDiA Research to provide a deep dive on the disparity between female-identifying and male-identifying artists within the music industry. The study provides an essential look at the perspectives of female-identifying artists, writers and producers, who candidly shared, "the challenges, experiences and ambitions of women making music in the industry today, with an outlook on what is set to change, and what more can be done to remove barriers and support female music makers.” This panel will look at why women make up 50% of the world’s population but only 11% of the music industry’s artist population. TuneCore will utilize MIDiA’s research study findings as a catalyst for transparent conversation to take action steps to shift the dynamic. Distribution and access to DSPs is just one piece of the puzzle. For this panel, we hope to spark a deeper, data-driven conversation about gender inclusivity across the greater music industry. Join us while we break down the study’s findings and dig deep into perspectives from respected industry leaders.

Using its streaming and social data to unearth music trends for the past two years, music analytics firm Chartmetric is releasing its fourth free “6MO” semi-annual music industry report in January 2021. The Music Biz member company is excited to share their most recent findings: highlighting which artists and tracks broke out in the July-December 2020 timeframe, as well as delving deeper into its exploration of the concept of “trigger cities”, as coined by Chartmetric Chief Commercial Officer, Chaz Jenkins. Celebrating the global digital music environment, Chartmetric wrote extensively on the trigger cities concept in 2019, which discusses major cities in the Southeast Asian and Latin American regions as places to gain more exposure with effective ad spend, “trigger” social and streaming algorithmic benefits, and most importantly, win new fans from all cultures. This latest H2 2020 6MO report goes deeper into the music marketing concept, with the intent to make it more practical for artists of all sizes to take advantage of. Tune in as 6MO’s editors, Jason Joven (Manager, Content & Insights) and Rutger Ansley Rosenborg (Digital Marketing Lead) present the issue exclusively for Music Biz members and answer attendee questions!
