Today, the Recording Academy revealed the 2024 inducted recordings to the distinguished GRAMMY Hall Of Fame on its 50th anniversary. This year’s additions include four albums and six singles that exhibit qualitative or historical significance and are at least 25 years old.

“We’re proud to unveil the diverse mix of recordings entering the GRAMMY Hall Of Fame in its 50th year,” said Harvey Mason jr., CEO of the Recording Academy. “The music showcased here has played a pivotal role in shaping our cultural landscape, and it’s a true honor to recognize these albums and recordings, along with the profound influence each has had on music and beyond.”
 
“The artists, songwriters, producers, and engineers who composed this year’s inducted recordings are a reflection of the sheer talent and hard work that goes into creating such seminal music,” says Michael Sticka, President/CEO of the GRAMMY Museum. “It’s a privilege to be able to welcome these new additions into our distinguished catalog and celebrate the recordings at our inaugural gala on May 21.”
 
The 2024 GRAMMY Hall Of Fame inducted recordings range from Lauryn Hill’s Miseducation of Lauryn Hill to Guns N’ Roses’ Appetite For Destruction.
