The 2010s wouldn’t look or sound the same without artists like Lana Del Rey, Beyoncé, Sia, Florence and the Machine, Courtney Barnett, Lorde and MIA. That’s facts.
So, for International Women’s Day on Sunday 8 March triple j is celebrating the best music made by women over the last decade with a special edition of Girls to the Front – just in time to get your Hottest 100 of the Decade votes in!
