Cornerstone albums from Janet Jackson and Tupac’s catalog are among the 14 recordings inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame 2026.
Janet Jackson‘s Rhythm Nation 1814 and Tupac’s All Eyez on Me have been added to the prestigious catalog housed at the GRAMMY Museum.
This year’s additions include nine albums and five songs that exhibit qualitative or historical significance and are at least 25 years old. The inducted recordings will be honored at the Grammy Museum and Recording Academy’s Grammy Hall Of Fame Gala on May 8, at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, CA,. Eligible recipients will receive a certificate from the Recording Academy.
Others works include recordings by Alice Coltrane, Bertha “Chippie” Hill, Ella Jenkins, Eric B. & Rakim, Funkadelic, Heart, Lucinda Williams, Nick Drake, The Rouse Brothers, Selena, and The Soul Stirrers.
“It’s a privilege to recognize these influential recordings as the 2026 Grammy Hall Of Fame inductees,” said Harvey Mason Jr., CEO of the Recording Academy. “Each selection reflects the creativity, craft and cultural impact that recorded music can carry across decades.
The Grammy Hall Of Fame was established by the Recording Academy’s National Trustees in 1973.
The inducted recordings are selected annually by a special member committee of eminent and knowledgeable professionals from all branches of the recording arts with final ratification by the Recording Academy’s National Board of Trustees. With 14 new titles, the Grammy Hall Of Fame currently totals 1,179 inducted recordings.
“The Grammy Hall Of Fame is a vital bridge between music’s past and present—honoring recordings that changed the way we listen, create and connect,” added Michael Sticka, President/CEO of the Grammy Museum.
