Post Where are the women?
There are 4 songs in the top 40 by women (Now or Never by Halsey, Sorry Not Sorry by Demi Lovato, Issues by Julia Michaels, and Praying by Kesha). And only Halsey seems guaranteed to stay in the top 40 for longer than a few more weeks.

There are 5 songs in the top 40 that feature women (Wild Thoughts has Rihanna, Stay has Alessia Cara, It Ain't Me has Selena Gomez, Feels has Katy Perry and Closer has Halsey). But the main credit still goes to DJ Khaled, Zedd, Kygo, Calvin Harris and the Chainsmokers even though the women do most of the singing in each of these songs.

Where the heck are all the women? Why are 36 out of the top 40 have the main credit go to men?

It seems not that long ago that women dominated the charts. It's a real shame because with a few exceptions, male songs are so much more boring than female songs.

I'd count the second set. Other than DJ Khalid, all of those songs would have been credited to the singer only a few years ago.

As for the rest, well we've mentioned many times about how much the streaming revolution has benefited hip hop. And women just aren't a big part of that genre. But this is reflective of what people are actually listening to rather than what the radio stations are plugging, or just what people who can afford to pay $1 per song like.

Pop music just isn't as cool anymore
