Seeing Red – Raging Women Top Ten
Our musical Top Tens dedicated to all things kinky
Warning: This music chart may have offensive or triggering content.
We’re celebrating International Women’s Day March 8th with our special Raging Women Top Ten – no pink or soft focus flowers here!
This is an entirely female vocals chart with a strong showing of tracks all released in the last 6 years. It wasn’t a difficult chart to fill. There’s been an explosion from the vanguard of Millennial or Gen Z feminists, using music to exhibit their wrath and indignation at the disparity, ill-treatment & objectification of women. This chart steps outside our usual rules – that the tracks must be huge hits or from well-known artists. Although some were massive hits, the track from doyen pop queen Taylor Swift, an influential, inspirational, independent woman and one hell of a fighter, has had 1.4 billion views! However, a few of the songs here contain such direct or repressed female anger and violence, they would never make it into the mainstream. They are so worthy and such great tracks to boot, they need a place to shine.
There is incredible videos in this selection, well worth checking out. So don’t miss the Ball-Busting in ‘Boring’ and the POV spitting & castration reference in the mainstream track ‘Nightmare’.
Taking a look at the 45 year timeline of the tracks in this chart there’s an notable rise in anger and boldness in these female voices. In the ’70s we have Gloria passively “surviving”; in the ’90s a seething Alanis (though this track was quite shocking back then); and by the twenty-10s it’s full on outspoken rage & fury!
