Why Sony Music Should Only Release Solo Female Artists

Sony Music built the palace where last week's Grammy darlings and indisputable music industry queens Barbra Streisand and Aretha Franklin live. Both honored for a lifetime of artistry, the world was reminded of the solo female artists lasting magical power. But for Sony, the list doesn't end there. A closer look will show that label bloodline filled with more industry queens, princesses, and duchesses than any other, and a proven half-century of lady-centric executive leadership in Clive, Tommy, Donnie and Barry. So if you have the keys to the castle Sony, why live anywhere else?

Out of 2010s Top 5 #1 hits, 3 were from solo female artists -- beyond that, 8 out of the Top 15. Out of those 8, Sony Music was the home to 6. Sony's dominance in the category is not isolated to 2010; their successes span decades and are textbook examples of brilliant solo female development and success. From Whitney to Celine, Mariah to Christina, and Alicia to Britney -- there are billions of dollars in net receipts and a legacy that runs strong with Beyonce, Kelly Clarkson, Kesha, Pink, and Shakira. Not only is there no label better -- there's no one even close. And with more than 30 solo female multi-platinum artists on the roster and in the catalog, Sony should cease all operations involving anything else.
