The Songwriters Hall of Fame has announced its slate of nominees to be voted upon for induction at its 2027 Induction & Awards Gala in New York City.

The nominees include Lady Gaga, Shakira, Jack White, P!NK, Vince Gill and Boy George.

The Songwriters Hall of Fame is dedicated to recognizing and celebrating the lives and legacies of the songwriters behind the world’s most enduring songs.

A songwriter with a catalog of notable songs qualifies for induction 20 years after their first commercial release of a song. Eligible voting members will have until December 14 to turn in ballots, with their choices of up to three nominees in each of the songwriter and performing songwriter categories.

Artists are nominated in both Songwriters and Performing Songwriters categories.

Gerry Beckley and Dewey Bunnell of America, Debbie Harry and Chris Stein of Blondie, Grandmaster Melle Mel, Ne-Yo, Sia, Thomas Sylvester Allen, Harold Ray Brown, Morris “B.B.” Dickerson, Jerry Goldstein, LeRoy L. Jordan, Lee Oskar Levitin, Charles William Miller and Howard E. Scott of WAR; and Frank Beard, Billy Gibbons and Dusty Hill of ZZ Top are the other nominees in the Performing Songwriters category.

Elton John‘s 1989 music video for “Sacrifice” has surpassed one billion views on YouTube, becoming the legendary British singer-songwriter’s first entry in the platform’s Billion Views Club.

The video, directed by Alek Keshishian, stars supermodel Yasmeen Ghauri and singer-songwriter Chris Isaak as a married couple whose relationship gradually breaks down, leading to separation and single parenthood.

“Sacrifice” was released as the second single from John’s 22nd studio album, Sleeping with the Past. Although it peaked at No. 18 on the Billboard Hot 100, the song gained wider success after being reissued as a double A-side with “Healing Hands” in 1990.

The release topped the U.K. Singles Chart for five consecutive weeks, giving John his first solo No. 1 in his home country.
