Subject: The Years Ending In “7”
Written By: oldmusicfan on 03/26/20 at 9:55 pm
Has anybody noticed the girl power that seems to be emanated by female singers in the years ending in “7”?
Here’s what I mean:
1987: Tiffany, Debbie Gibson, Sabrina, Whitney Houston, Belinda Carlisle, and Elissa Fiorillo
1997: Lilith Fair, Spice Girls, Fiona Apple, and Natalie Imbruglia
2007: Fergie, Rihanna, Pink, and Alicia Keys
2017: Taylor Swift, Camila Cabello, Alessia Cara, and Cardi Blurrrr B

Nope, I think girl power can be found in any year.
However every year ending in 7 , also starting with 1987, is the year of the Michigan Dogman.

Where was girl power in 1976?

1977-Fleetwood Mac "Rumours" #1 album of the year. Stevie Nicks and Christine McVie "Dreams", "Gold Dust Woman" "You Make Lovin Fun", Don't Stop"
1977-Donna Summer-"I Feel Love"
1977-Your Love Has Lifted Me Higher-Rita Coolidge
1977-Nobody Does It better-Carly Simon
1967-"Ode To Billy Joe"-Bobbie Gentry. Singer/songwriter/guitarist/producer. "Girl power" indeed, trite and trivializing phrase though it is.
1967-"To Sir With Love"-Lulu
1967-'Somebody to Love"-Grace Slick/Jefferson Airplane
1967-"Piece of My heart"-Janis Joplin/Big brother & The Holding Company
and so on.

I'm pretty sure that's not true for 2017 at least. I distinctly remember there was a week where there were no women in the Billboard top 10 (because I joked about how "this is the Trump cultural shift"). Men also had a 9 month record remaining at the top of the Billboard, which was a record.

For the UK, the Spice Girls started in 1996 and ended with "Spice World" in 1997.
Btw, where is Adele?

It was mainly Boomers listening to that music and not Joneses, early Xers, or late Xers.

I know. I was talking about the Spice Girls when they charted in the US.
Adele did not have any good singles in 2007 or 2017.

You didn't qualify it that way. Girl Power is Girl Power. Besides, in 1976 there was no such distinction WHATSOEVER. Of course it was Boomers listening to it in 1976. At that point they were still THE target audience for the music business. Be it full Boomers or the so-called subset of "Jones". The first Gen X's, being born in 1965, would have been 11.

Back in that day the closes thing to Girl Power was Women's Lib?

The strange thing is, that Adele (in the UK) her first single "Chasing Pavements" was in 2008 and last hit single "Water Under The Bridge" was in 2016. She has had no hit singles since.

Yes but women's liberation/feminism is a legitimate movement, a force to be reckoned with. So called "girl power" is nothing more than a silly slogan. Marketing.

In the UK in 1917. the Speaker's Conference on electoral reform represented all the parties in both houses, and came to the conclusion that women's suffrage was essential, and from 1918–1928, women could vote at 30 with property qualifications or as graduates of UK universities, while men could vote at 21 with no qualification. From 1928 women had equal suffrage with men.
