Male-dominated Music Industry

Are females finally finding success in the record charts – or is it still a man's world?

The global success of The Spice Girls seems to be leading the way for other female bands to thrive in the music industry. But since the British music press’s sudden criticism of The Spice Girls, we investigate if ‘girl power’ in the record charts is all it’s hyped up to be, or if it’s still very much a man’s world.

Also on the show, the South African Youth Theatre Company, Ian Deezer, touring Britain with its production, Red On Bricks; and the Canadian celebrities who no one has ever heard of.
