Very thoughtful and accurate post DJKZ. Particularly in comparing the songs from the 50's and 60's up against current songwriting.
And Mart yes on the blurring of demo's if that word can honestly be used anymore, as I've said before to quote Robin...."Pro-tools and pizza....the ability of almost anyone to record infinite amounts of crap" (that sounds something like a record. |

Cheers for the list.

Don't you think things are starting to change? Certainly on the album front UK females are selling well - Duffy has the biggest selling album in the UK this year, Amy and Leona the biggest two last year.
Below are worldwide album sales - I've taken the top 20 from 2006 releases, top 15 from 2007 and top 10 from 2008 - the further back an album released the more representative (and higher) the overall sales hence I've taken more albums as I went back.
There's plethora of female talent selling albums galore. In fact of the 45 albums list, more than half showcase female voices:
2006
Amy Winehouse - Back To Black 9296000
Justin Timberlake - FutureSex/LoveSounds 8588000
Soundtrack - High School Musical 7700000
Nelly Furtado - Loose 7635000
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Stadium Arcadium 7186000
Pink - I'm Not Dead 5887000
Fergie - The Dutchess 5825000
