The Woman’s Hour 2018 Power List will recognise the top 40 most successful women who have impacted the music we listen to.

Whether that’s on radio, vinyl or streaming services, the list will acknowledge the innovators and ground-breakers who are pushing music forward and demonstrating power in the industry.

Its goal is to help encourage a more equal, diverse and creative music business.

The BBC is asking for recommendations of record producers, songwriters, composers, festival organisers and record label executives who are shaping the world of music and should be included.

To share your thoughts on who should be included, contact Women’s Hour on Twitter and Instagram (@bbcwomanshour) and use #WHPowerList #Womeninmusic, or email womanshour.yourviews@bbc.co.uk.

The top 40 will be decided by a judging panel chaired by BBC TV and radio presenter Tina Daheley.

She will be joined by music TV producer and columnist Jasmine Dotiwala, classical music writer and novelist Jessica Duchen, UK Producer of the Year 2018 Catherine Marks and BRIT award-winning singer, songwriter and musician Kate Nash.

The Power List will be revealed on 28 September in a live programme from the BBC’s Maida Vale studios.
