"Notorious B.I.G., ABBA, and More Join National Recording Registry"
The Library of Congress has added 25 new recordings to its National Recording Registry, including works by ABBA, The Notorious BIG, Blondie, and others, based on their cultural, historical, or aesthetic significance. These additions, which must be at least a decade old, aim to preserve the diverse sounds of American history and culture, with selections ranging from the 1919 "Clarinet Marmalade" to The Chicks' "Wide Open Spaces" from 1998.
