Spotlight on AUPEO! Stations: Viva La Woman!

All the ladies in the house say, “oh yeah”!

With International Women’s Day on March 8th, there is no better time to honor the greatest and finest females in music. Tune in to our spanking new Viva La Woman! AUPEO! Station in our Pop section which, you guessed it, is free for the whole month of March.

That today’s women can work side by side with their male cohorts, and of course rival them in singing, rapping and awesome guitar solos, is pretty much a given. The likes of Janet Jackson and Lady Gaga are proving to the music industry that women have more than what it takes to be global superstars.

Our Viva La Woman! AUPEO! Station is a multi-genre adventure that focuses on women’s contribution to popular and groundbreaking music in the last five decades. Amongst those at the party are Paula Abdul, Nelly Furtado and Mary J. Blige. Naturally, there are massive hits (Heart of Glass, anyone?) and singalong faves (“It’s like raaaain on your wedding day!”). But we’ll also be tipping our hat – or giving shout-outs, whichever appropriate – to many fantastic female MCs, bands, vocalists and DJs who have made an impact on the way we listen to music. They’ve definitely set the bar that much higher for future musicians, female or otherwise.

On that note, let us end with a lovely sugar-studded gem from the past:
