I'm not saying there was an agenda. But at the same time, I don't think it was free of bias either. I'm suggestion this is the insideous, subtle kind of sexism - the one where people don't really notice and thus don't really think there is or they need to take blame.
However, when you look more closely, like for example the fact that JJJ have a playlist that is 77% male, for this year, you have to wonder if in fact there was more at play.
500 000 votes were cast. There were 2 songs with female vocalists - who were guest singers for the all male band. There were like 3 other female members for bands across the 100 songs. There were 6 female acts in the top 200.
It seems to me, statistically kind of odd that the results should fall out that way. You know, unless it really is that people prefer male artists, cause they are better (again /sarcasm).
