Today, we’re going to do something a little more in-depth.
A few days ago, Chartmetric released a blog article about the gender gap in the music charts, to include Billboard, Spotify and Apple Music charts and also across country boundaries and genres.
But first, let me introduce the author of the piece, data scientist and newest team member of Chartmetric, Josh Hayes.
