The women in music 2025 report from USC Annenberg was released. Get the details on the study, which is based on Billboard Hot 100 and Grammy data.
Dr. Stacy L. Smith attends The Hollywood Reporter's 2nd Annual"Raising Our Voices" at Audrey Irmas Pavilion on May 31, 2023 in Los Angeles.As the music industry prepares to celebrate at the 67th annual Grammy Awards on Sunday , the latest report fromand the USC Annenberg Inclusion Initiative suggests that things for women in music are holding steady but not moving forward. The study is based on the year-end Billboard Hot 100 chart and Grammy nominations in key categories.
“While there may be movement in the independent space, the songs and charts evaluated represent the agenda-setting music that has the greatest opportunity to launch and grow a career,” said Dr. Smith. “Until the people in the executive ranks and A&R roles take seriously the lack of women in the industry, we will continue to see little change.”
“Behind the scenes, women have not lost ground since the gains we saw last year,” said Dr. Smith. “However, the numbers are not growing. Programs like Be The Change, Keychange, She Is The Music, Spotify’s EQL, Women’s Audio Mission, and others are supporting talented women who are ready to take on opportunities. These numbers can continue to grow if the industry looks to these organizations and the many qualified women ready to work as songwriters and producers.
The report also assessed Grammy nominations in the six categories that comprise the General Field: album, record and song of the year, best new artist, and producer and songwriter of the year, non-classical. According to Annenberg, just under a quarter of all nominees in these categories in 2025 were women, similar to 2024 and significantly greater than 2013 .
