Riding off the success of Korean pop, artists CL, Dean and Eric Nam have their eyes set on the U.S. music industry_ by [Kate Samuelson](https://time.com/author/kate-samuelson/) ## Kate Samuelson Mar 29, 2017 7:00 AM UTC  NWA "Straight Outta Compton" album cover. NWA "Straight Outta Compton" album cover.Courtesy Aftermath/Interscope by [Kate Samuelson](https://time.com/author/kate-samuelson/) ## Kate Samuelson Mar 29, 2017 7:00 AM UTC [Don McLean](http://time.com/4188930/don-mclean-domestic-violence/)‘s 1971 hit “American Pie,” Sister Sledge’s “We are Family” and [Barbra Streisand](http://www.extracrispy.com/culture/2281/barbara-streisand-stress-eats-pancakes-because-of-trump)‘s “People” are far more than just catchy songs. According to the [Library of Congress](http://time.com/4264819/library-of-congress-national-recording-registry-2016-billy-joel-metallica-gloria-gaynor/), these tunes are worthy of preservation as part of America’s heritage, along with N.W.A.’s [_Straight Outta Compton_](http://time.com/3995777/straight-outta-compton-review/) and the Eagles’ first compilation album. These recordings are among 25 new additions to the Library’s National Recording Registry, which preserves an ever-expanding list of sound recordings because they are recognized to be “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.” The new additions bring the total number of titles on the registry to 475. As well as songs by McLean, Sister Sledge and Streisand, the list now includes David Bowie’s 1972 concept album _The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars_, Judy Garland’s **“**Over the Rainbow,” performed in _The Wizard of Oz_, and Talking Head’s fourth studio album, _Remain in Light_. Two renditions of the hymn “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” the national anthem of the U.S.’ African-American community, also made the list, as well as country-gospel group The Chuck Wagon Gang’s 1948 version of “I’ll Fly Away.” “It is so humbling and gratifying to learn that my recording of the song ‘People’ by composer Jule Styne and lyricist Bob Merrill will be installed in the National Recording Registry of the Library of Congress,” said Streisand in a statement. “I believe “People” touched our common desire to relate to others with love and caring, and I’ve always tried to express this in my renditions of this magical song.” Not all of the new additions to the Registry are musical ones. The first broadcast of _All Things Considered_, NPR’s flagship news program, is included, as well as Richard Pryor’s 1978 comedy album _Wanted: Live in Concert_ and Vin Scully’s 1957 announcement of the Brooklyn Dodgers and the New York Giants at the Polo Grounds.
