Female artists have received only one in five Grammy nominations and wins over the last eight years, according to a new report. Men led the nominations in 94% of the Grammy categories between 2017 and 2024, with women accounting for 19% of those nominated and winning awards in that time, a report produced by Akas (Addy Kassova Audience Strategy) has claimed.
Global stars Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus and Billie Eilish won three of the major awards in 2024 – including Album of the Year, Record of the Year and Song of the Year – but the report found only 24% of nominees and 32% of winners were women across the 94 categories last year.
The Missing Voices Of Women In Music And Music News report states it recorded the gender of 8,580 nominations and 2,003 wins across 103 categories between 2017 and 2024, some of which had been dropped and others introduced during the eight-year period.
It also found a number of Grammy Award categories have not featured any female winners for several years, including the Producer of the Year (non-classical) prize. Winners of the coveted gong over the past eight years include Pharrell Williams, Greg Kurstin, Andrew Watt and Billie Eilish’s brother, Finneas O’Connell, for the hit album When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?.
Jack Antonoff, who produced Swift’s album Midnights, won the award in 2022, 2023 and 2024. Last year, US singer Swift was nominated for six awards and made Grammy history as the first person to win Album of the Year four times after picking up the prize for Midnights, her 10th album.
