female dominance in the industry and how they are defining the sound of today, I wanted to collate songs from the best albums made by women since last International Women’s Day. That would be 8th March, 2025. This International Women’s Day is a chance to recognise the brilliance of women right across the music industry. From studios through to promotion and venues, right to the forefront, they are making a huge contribution to the industry and economy. Last year was a stunning one in terms of albums released by female artists. This year is shaping up to be another huge one. Mitski put out Nothing's About to Happen to Me recently. That is one of the best albums of this year and another masterpiece. Hilary Duff, Charli xcx and Madison Beer have also released incredible albums. Last year, there were gems from Florence + The Machine, CMAT, Coco Jones, ROSALÍA and so many other queens. The playlist at the end of this feature recognises the brilliance of female artists and how, year in year out, they are delivering the very best music. 2026 is shaping up already to be another where they dominate. I hope the industry one day acknowledges that and there is greater parity and opportunities. In terms of pay and opportunities. That misogyny is properly tackled. I wanted to show love and respect for amazing women through music. The mixtape below are songs taken from the best albums made by women since International Women’s Day last year. Proof that they are…
RULING music.
