New Post: Females dominate 2023’s best-selling albums and singles – but new acts are pushed out - https://lnkd.in/gCFzJJpJ - 2023 proved to be a record-breaking year for women in music – as new figures show that female musicians dominated the best-selling albums and singles over the past 12 months. However, concerns have been raised about new talent finding it harder to emerge on the charts. READ MORE: UK grassroots venues “going over a cliff” without urgent government action or investment from arenas The new figures showing the most popular tracks and albums in the UK over the past 12 months were published by the British Phonographic Institute (BPI), and revealed that the 2023 charts were led by female acts. According to the report, women spent 31 weeks at the top of the UK singles chart and accounted for seven of the year’s 10 biggest singles. These tracks include ‘Flowers’ by Miley Cyrus, which was released in January and went on to spend 10 weeks at the top of the singles charts. Other female acts who dominated the singles chart included Dua Lipa, Kenya Grace, Ellie Goulding, Billie Eilish, Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo, RAYE and more. More impressively, 48.5 per cent of all songs to reach the Top 10 in 2023 were released by women – a milestone which meant it was female musicians’ highest annual share of Top 10 hits of the century. Check out the 10 best-selling singles of the year overall below. Top 10 singles of 2023 1. Miley Cyrus – ‘Flowers’ 2. Dave & Central Cee – ‘Sprinter’ 3. RAYE ft 070 Shake – ‘Escapism’ 4. Taylor Swift – ‘Anti-Hero’ 5. Calvin Harris & Ellie Goulding – ‘Miracle’ 6. Rema ft Selena Gomez – ‘Calm Down’ 7. SZA – ‘Kill Bill’ 8. PinkPantheress ft Ice Spice – ‘Boy’s A Liar Pt. 2’ 9. Harry Styles – ‘As It Was’ 10. Libianca – ‘People’ As for albums, The Guardian reported that the last 12 months marked the ninth year of growth for the British music industry, with sales and streams increasing by 10 per cent (equivalent to 182.8million albums) and streaming hitting a record high with 179.6billion over the year. This is up 12.8 per cent on 2022 and nearly double that of 2018. The sales of vinyl also continued to grow for the 16th year in a row: increasing by nearly 12 per cent to 6.1million units, the highest level since 1990. That being said, due to the dominance of streaming, which makes it easy to access LPs from previous years, there were no new albums from 2023 that made the year’s overall Top 10 – with the exception of Taylor Swift’s re-recording of her 2014 album ‘1989’. Instead, the figures by the BPI revealed that the Top 10 albums included three albums from the year prior, and was mostly filled by rediscovered classics and greatest hits compilations. Check out the full list below. Top 10 albums of 2023 1. The Weeknd – ‘The Highlights’ (2021) 2. Taylor Swift – ‘Midnights’ (2022) 3. T

New Post: Gracie Abrams Scores First No. 1 on Top Album Sales Chart With ‘The Secret of Us’ - https://lnkd.in/gjfv6C59 - Gracie Abrams notches her first No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart (dated July 6) with her largest sales week ever, as The Secret of Us arrives atop the tally. The set, her second full-length studio effort, sold 50,000 copies in the U.S. in the week ending June 27, according to Luminate. Abrams’ previous high-water mark came when her first full-length release, Good Riddance, peaked at No. 7 on the July 1, 2023-dated chart with 10,000 sold – powered by its arrival on vinyl that week. That same week also marked her best sales week until the debut of The Secret of Us. Related Led by Taylor Swift, Six Women Place in the Billboard 200's Top 10 for the First Time… 06/30/2024 The first-week sales of The Secret of Us was supported by the album’s availability across seven vinyl variants (all color variations, two of which were signed and exclusive to Abrams’ webstore, as well as one that was exclusive to Target with an alternative cover). Vinyl sales accounted for 41,000 of the album’s total sales for the week – her best week on vinyl, and the sixth-largest week for a vinyl set in 2024. Secret also starts at No. 1 on the Vinyl Albums chart. Also in the top 10 of the new Top Album Sales chart: Ariana Grande’s chart-topping Eternal Sunshine re-enters at No. 3 thanks to sales of a signed edition, a 50th anniversary reissue of Grateful Dead’s From the Mars Hotel arrives, the all-star covers tribute to Tom Petty, Petty Country, debuts, and The Story So Far’s new album I Want to Disappear enters. Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart ranks the top-selling albums of the week based only on traditional album sales. The chart’s history dates back to May 25, 1991, the first week Billboard began tabulating charts with electronically monitored piece count information from SoundScan, now Luminate. Pure album sales were the sole measurement utilized by the Billboard 200 albums chart through the list dated Dec. 6, 2014, after which that chart switched to a methodology that blends album sales with track equivalent album units and streaming equivalent album units. The new July 6, 2024-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on July 2. For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both Twitter and Instagram. Taylor Swift’s chart-topping The Tortured Poets Department holds at No. 2 with 28,000 copies sold (down 16%). Ariana Grande’s former leader Eternal Sunshine re-enters at No. 3 with 17,000 copies sold (up 598%). Its surg
