Did the rock 'n' roll revolution practically eliminate the women from the ranks of the best-selling recording artists?

The rock 'n' roll revolution did not entirely eliminate women from the ranks of best-selling recording artists, but it did shift the spotlight predominantly to male artists. While female musicians like Aretha Franklin and Janis Joplin made significant contributions, the era often favored male-driven narratives and bands. This resulted in a more male-dominated music industry, impacting the visibility and commercial success of many female artists during that time. However, women's influence in rock and pop continued to grow in subsequent decades.
