Wynonna Judd, Trisha Yearwood - Cry Myself To Sleep (Official Audio)

 


Are country stations playing this song?  In Kat's "Some really bad music news," she noted:


Disturbing music news from Jeffrey Ingold (GUARDIAN):


In 2022, female country artists received just 11% of all airplay. The situation is even more dire for women of colour and LGBTQ+ artists who earned less than 1% of all airplay last year. As Dr Watson puts it, white women in country music are “told from the very beginning that there’s one spot they’re all competing for, whether on a label, in a writer’s room or on a tour. They are used against each other in a way that allows white men to stay in control. So as long as white women are made to compete for scraps, most won’t be looking for opportunities to create space for LGBTQ+ artists or women of colour.”
