Good chart! :)
Also, I'm just curious about your low rating on my chart? You rated over 50 of the albums on my chart 90+ in your album ratings...I'm just intrigued about your opinion on my chart though? :)

Last time I visited there were more "acclaimed classics" on your chart, but current choices are refreshing and, I suspect, more personal.
We have no common albums at the moment, but I see some good suggestions for listening here and Goldfrapp at least will find a way to my chart any day now. :)

Really like this chart; great to see some underground faves of mine (Julianna Barwick, NYPC) mixed in with the heavyweights.

As for those criticising your choice to focus on female artists: ignore them. Sure, personally I try to keep more of a mix of genders, but as @sssvnnn put it, what you've done here is far "more interesting than a chart including only boys". Lord knows BEA has enough of those...

That said, as an ostensibly female-orientated chart I still think there's a little too much focus on artists from the 21st century, and quite a big proportion of the music here does tend to fall into similar variations on 'art pop' (hard to avoid, I know, when there's so much great female-authored art pop knocking about these days).

Would be great to see the inclusion of some female artists who refuse to adhere to prescribed notions of femininity in their music, and give voice to women within genres that have historically been largely male (Lingua Ignota for avant-garde metal, Pauline Oliveros for dark ambient, Matana Roberts for avant-garde jazz, Meredith Monk for contemporary classical, and Moor Mother for experimental hip hop all come to mind).

Aaaaand on the flipside, why stop at ciswomen? I can't say what your intentions with this chart were, but if you were hoping to offer listeners an alternative to the predominantly cismale viewpoint that occupies much of music reception, then musical projects from trans and non-binary artists like AHOHNI, SOPHIE, and Genesis P-Orridge (R.I.P.) would all make fascinating additions to what you've got here, I think.

Would be interested to know your thoughts! Feel free to drop me a line.

wow amazing chart you have here, great diversity and the surprises here are many, like sterolab's loops, and love how much feminine this is, with many I have to explore here even not being too big. great work you made
