Women that Shaped Music - From 50 to 1: Radio NOVA's St. Brigid’s Long Weekend Countdown
This St. Brigid’s long weekend, Radio NOVA is pulling out all the stops to pay tribute to the incredible women who have left an indelible mark on the world of music. From powerful vocalists to ground breaking songwriters, this special celebration is dedicated to the artists who have not only shaped the soundtrack of our lives but also redefined what it means to be legendary.
The centrepiece of the weekend? An epic countdown of the Top 50 songs by the women who shaped music, chosen by you, our listeners. Yes, this is your chance to make your voice heard and ensure your favourite iconic track takes its rightful place in our ranking. Whether it’s a timeless anthem, a soul-stirring ballad, or a genre-defying masterpiece, it’s all about honouring the women who have inspired us, moved us, and, let’s be honest, rocked our worlds.
Voting is now open, and we’re inviting you to text or message us with your pick for the ultimate track by a legendary female artist. This isn’t just about picking a song — it’s about telling a story. Maybe there’s a track that saw you through tough times, one that’s become the unofficial anthem of your road trips, or a melody that takes you back to unforgettable moments. Whatever it is, we want to hear about it.
Once the votes are in, we’ll curate your selections into an unforgettable countdown. Across the long weekend, from the first chord of song 50 to the climactic moment when we reveal number 1, we’ll be showcasing the talent, power, and artistry of the women who’ve shaped music as we know it.
It’s no coincidence we’ve chosen this weekend for such a tribute. St. Brigid, as the patroness of Ireland, represents strength, creativity, and resilience — qualities that are mirrored in the trailblazing women of music. Just as St. Brigid’s legacy has stood the test of time, so too have the voices and visions of the female artists we’re celebrating.
So, what are you waiting for? Cast your vote now and join us for a weekend of music, memories, and moments that remind us why the women who shaped music deserve to be celebrated.
Celebrate the Women That Shaped Music. This St. Brigid’s Long Weekend. Only on Radio NOVA.
