We love the annual USC Annenberg’s ‘Inclusion in the Recording Studio?’ report which has become an indispensable resource for us. Analysing the ‘Gender & Race/Ethnicity of Artists, Songwriters, & Producers across 1,200 Popular Songs from 2012 to 2023’ in the Billboard Hot 100 Year-End charts, we always say that numbers talk, show you where further targeted action is needed, proactively tackle the challenges, as well as look to learn from (and celebrate!) the positives and successes. Additionally, it takes a look at the Grammy awards across 6 major categories. We advise you to take some time and get through this must-read here.
