Country radio: Women are seeing strides in 2020 that they haven’t seen in years

There are encouraging signs of change in the gender gap on the country radio:

Maren Morris’s 'The Bones' is the first song by a solo female to stay at the summit of Country Airplay for two weeks since 2012

For five consecutive weeks, there have been five female-inclusive acts in the Top 20 of the Country Airplay chart

For the last six weeks, women have co-written the No. 1 song

Should Andress’ 'More Hearts Than Mine' and Gabby Barrett’s 'I Hope' go to No. 1 on Country Airplay, it will mark the first time two women have taken their debut singles to No. 1 in a calendar year since 2001
