Well deserved
QuoteThe US Library of Congress is more picky: admitting just 25 recordings to its Recording Registry every year.
Those works, which are deemed to have historical and cultural significance, are then preserved for posterity.
This year's inductees have just been announced, with Janet Jackson, Winston Churchill and The Muppets on the list.
Nas' iconic debut, Illmatic, was also added to the registry, as was Labelle's Lady Marmalade and Louis Armstrong's 1938 recording of When the Saints Go Marching In.
Janet Jackson's 1989 album Rhythm Nation 1814 is one of the newest records to be added to the registry this year.
The Library of Congress recognised how the pop star had rejected pressure to repeat the commercial success of her previous record, Control, and instead made a record that grappled with racism, homelessness, gun crime and social injustice.
"We wanted Rhythm Nation to really communicate empowerment," Jackson's producer Jimmy Jam told the Library of Congress. "It was making an observation, but it was also a call to action. Janet's purpose was to lead people and do it through music, which I think is the ultimate uniter of people."
