My top 100 solo female artists
by Moondance 
In this chart I offer my top solo female artists.
In doing so, there are 2 key things to know about my choices:
1. Being Australian, I am very familiar with artist from Australia & New Zealand and feel they don't get the recognition they deserve on the BEA site. So I unashamedly have a natural bias towards them;
2. I am a songwriter and my tendency/preference is towards those female artists who are singer/songwriters ~ without, in the most part, over the top production or orchestrated commercial orientation.
This chart will list the female artists in alphabetic order - so there is no inherent rating between the female artists.
