I'm after recommendations for pop music, broadly written/performed by women. Must be available on CD. Late 70s onwards. For me and DD to listen to. Examples of stuff we've covered - Lily Allen, Black Pink, Olivia Rodrigo, Girls Aloud, Belinda Carlisle, Chappel Roan, Lizzo, Madonna, Kylie, Sabrina Carpenter, Rachel Stevens, Diana Vickers, Cardigans, Taylor Swift, Tori Amos, Fleetwood Mac, Sugababes...
