On the eve of unprecedented visibility for Guyton (the first Black female country artist to receive a Grammy nomination in 45 years since The Pointer Sisters received a Grammy for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group), Watson’s 20-page report, released today (March 12) notes that even including crossover artists, only 2.7% of country radio airplay over the past two decades were for songs by BIPOC women. According to Watson, the report focuses on the "race and ethnicity of artists, ensembles and collaborations over the last two decades. The study draws on datasets of songs played on country format radio, artists signed to the three major Nashville labels, and artists nominated for CMA and ACM awards to consider how industry practices work together to marginalize and deny opportunities to BIPOC artists."
