May 14 (UPI) -- The National Recording Registry of the Library of Congress will induct music from Taylor Swift, Beyoncé and other artists in 2026.
The Library of Congress announced in a press release Thursday that Swift's album 1989 and Beyoncé's single "Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It)" will join the registry, along with 23 other recordings.
The National Recording Registry is a collection of sound recordings deemed "worthy of preservation for all time based on their cultural, historical or aesthetic importance in the nation's recorded sound heritage."
The 2026 class of inductees also includes Vince Gill's song "Go Rest High On That Mountain," Weezer's self-titled debut album, Chaka Khan's hit "I Feel for You" and the original Broadway cast album of Chicago.
