At the top of their game and ready to be heard, fierce females are pushing boundaries across music industries around the world.
In recognition of International Women's Day, the top 20 globally most-played women artists have been released by Spotify and Apple Music.
Known to flaunt strong vocal abilities while sharing their creativity with global audiences, many of the leading ladies feature on both lists, and Ariana Grande is clearly the world's stream queen.
Grande - who has more than 56 million monthly listeners on Spotify - recently released much-hyped Thank U, Next which she'll be hoping surpasses her most streamed album My Everything, claiming more than 3.14 billion plays.
Modern day trendsetters won out the top ten, but Apple Music's statistics indicated at least one classic hitmaker is yet to be forgotten with Mariah Carey sitting within the top 20.
Singer Billie Eilish, who is to perform in Auckland in April, proved worthy of the second spot on Spotify's run down, with global superstar Lady Gaga coming in third.
Ariana Grande, Taylor Swift and Rihanna took out the top three spots for most-streamed female artists of all time on Apple Music globally, followed by Beyonce, Nicki Minaj and Cardi B.
