#Sisterhood6Music - help compile a sisterhood playlist

Tom Robinson wants listeners' suggestions for a special playlist inspired by female artist friendships. Send in tracks, artist and album picks via #Sisterhood6Music.

We know many of you aren't interested in The BRIT Awards (although we're also sure loads of you probably passively watched it), BUT, in case you missed it, the big talking point was how the LadiesTM totally ruled the show.

Adele cleaned up. Lorde did a sterling and Duncan Jones-approved Bowie tribute. Annie Lennox didn't have to sing a note and she still received a standing ovation. Bjork - perhaps unexpectedly - won Best International Female. And even die-hard indie fans must admit that Little Mix killed it. Yep, women ruled The BRITS, and we loved it.

This week's other big social media music news was the outpouring of female-led online support received by American pop/rap star Kesha after a judge ruled her record label should not release her, despite allegations of sexual assault committed by her producer and former mentor.

Adele, Lily Allen, Lady Gaga, Ariana Grande, Lorde and Fiona Apple all showed solidarity on Twitter via the hashtag #FreeKesha, and Taylor Swift donated $250,000 to help Kesha's legal fund. Not surprising as Taylor Swift once told Vanity Fair, "There's a special place in hell for women who don't support other women".

So we want your tales of great friendships between artists, mainly female but you could chuck in some male ones too. Civil Wars' Hayley Williams and Paramore's Joy Williams, St Vincent hearting David Byrne, Lorde & Taylor Swift, Erykah Badu & Janelle Monae, and Lil' Kim & Missy Elliott.

You pick the music, so get your best friends-inspired suggestions to Tom via the hashtag #Sisterhood6Music to help create a playlist. Comment on the Now Playing Facebook page, here on the blog, email nowplaying@bbc.co.uk or drag tracks onto our Spotify and Rdio playlists.
