The parades of the most played and played songs in 1957 attack us from every direction, and most of them have similar results: Eyal Golan is in front of you at the summit despite all the criticism against him and those who praise him, Omar Adam immediately after him, Hanan Ben-Ari bombing, and almost regularly and everywhere Even Raviv Fiddler, despite a non-existent catalog, Shlomo Artzi, although he has not released a hit in years, Avraham Tal as always and even Bar Tsabari with his "Johnny".
What is missing in the list above?
women.
What excuse do music editors make over and over again?
That there are not enough women singing.
Exaggerators in particular will also argue that there are not enough talented women, and so on in defamatory and pathetic excuses, while no one takes responsibility for the default, which many of us have already accepted as a fait accompli.
There is no point in talking at all about the fact that there are enough women in the music industry, and that they are just as talented as their male counterparts.
Anyone who does not understand this, has a much bigger and bigger problem on a musical note.
But on something else it is worth dwelling, and it is the convincing proof that it is possible otherwise, that it is net in the hands of the musical editors, and that there is no reason that in 2021 we will listen to a radio adapted for 1900.
Among all the charts that have been distributed everywhere, the parade of the most played artists on MTV Israel was also distributed today (Wednesday), and see this as a miracle: three women in the top 5. Do you think this is coincidental?
Not really, because even if you extend the test to the top ten, five of them are women, even six, if you refer to the band Jane Bordeaux as a female representation because of the soloist and creator Doron Talmon.
One can continue to play this game and expand to the top 20, and still witness, wonder and wonder, a perfect balance between women and men, exactly half.
And make no mistake about thinking that these are unfamiliar women - among those heard are Echo (19th place), Adi Ulmansky (17th place), Roni Dalumi (16th place), Agam Bohbot (15th place), Eden Ben Zaken (12th place), C Bordeaux Wine (10th place), Ella Lee (9th place), Anna Zack (6th place), Jasmine Mualem (4th place), Noga Erez (3rd place) and Noa Kirl (1st place).
Any reasonable person can draw the obvious and unequivocal conclusions from these data.
A radio station where more women than men play is sinful to its essence, perpetuating inequality and serving an unprofessional musical mix to its listeners.
Music editors - the responsibility is yours and your excuses have long since lost all relevance.
Fact, look at MTV Israel's parade of artists - all full of strong, familiar, beloved, not to mention names - even dominating the industry.
Imbalance in play between men and women is a matter of choice.
So what do you say, ahead of the new year, replace a disc?
It's long overdue.
