Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden announced the 25 new titles in the class of 2024, saying they are worthy of preservation for all time based on their cultural, historical or aesthetic importance in the nation's recorded sound heritage.
Gene Autry's 1949 version of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and ABBA's 1976 album Visitors, including hits like Dancing Queen, are among the notable inductees recognized for their cultural impact.
Hector Lavoe's El Cantante and Juan Gabriel's Amor Eterno are also added to the registry, alongside albums like The Notorious B.I.G.'s Ready to Die and Blondie's Parallel Lines for their influence on American music history.
