One engine, and a gap worth asking about
The first number jumps out: MiiMii KDS weighs nearly ten times the runner-up. There is no second female engine in Gwada bouyon yet, and that is the headline of this ranking.
Behind her, the scene is denser than people assume: two masked duos, a group, solo voices, profiles running from pure bouyon to shatta and RnBouyon.
Then there is the first wave, nearly erased. Gaza Girls Crew, formed around 2010 with Kassidje, Gaza Izzy, La Barbie, DJ'Angel and Ghetto Princess, closes the ranking with about a thousand listeners. Not because these women did not matter: because their 2011-2014 singles were distributed without ever tying the releases to one profile. Kassidje's catalog is scattered across three separate Spotify pages, the group's across two. La Barbie and DJ'Angel exist on no platform at all.
The numbers at the bottom of this table measure a hand-made distribution, not a place in the history of the genre.
How to read this ranking
The number is the monthly listener count shown on each artist's Spotify page: how many different people played her over the last 28 days.
The ranking keeps artists whose profile states an explicit female identity: singer, female voice, female duo or collective. Two Guadeloupean collectives are missing, LGC and Les p'tits du Rzt, because their line-up is documented nowhere and guessing is not an option.
The wave pushing from behind
This ranking moves fast, and the bottom of the table is where it happens. TIITII NBA is one of the eight voices of the New Bouyon Wave, the collective pushing the Gwada scene: the current release puts you in the present tense of the genre.
