not doing this but I would be very curious to know how Spotify parses artists' gender (glenn to thread?)
I was thinking of starting a "corporate feminism" thread and I was going to cite this along w/ McD's upside-down arches and Frida Kahlo Barbie.

Ohhh is this an "International Women's Day" tie-in? I don't use Spotify so I don't have a score, but I got plenty of Int'l Women's Day celebrating promo emails advertising sales at Macy's, Nieman Marcus, Williams Sonoma, and some flash sale site I randomly signed up for that sells expensive designer handbags I have no interest in

82/18 in favour of women but I only use Spotify for pop/r&b purposes which tends to be dominated by female performers (or at least, in my taste circles)
Spotify suggested a playlist of gender-equal performers and the first male voice it suggested was Chris Brown, ha ha fucking ha

17/83 in favor of women, apparently. new ILX record.
i don't think these are trustworthy stats, though. i listen to a lot of women artists on spotify but i also listen to a lot of male artists. i don't know how they are calculating this.
