5 Nov
Summary
- 26 songwriters compete for only six Songwriters Hall of Fame spots.
- Lady Gaga's debut single released just shy of 20 years eligibility.
- This year's nominees have strong connections to past inductees.
The 2027 Songwriters Hall of Fame nominations are set, with 26 artists competing for only six available induction spots. This year's ballot includes prominent musicians such as Lady Gaga, Shakira, and P!nk, potentially bringing significant star power to the gala. Gaga's eligibility for her debut single, 'Just Dance,' released in April 2008, is just under the required 20-year threshold.
Several nominees have ties to past inductees. Pete Bellotte, who wrote extensively with Donna Summer, and Andreas Carlsson, a collaborator with Max Martin, are among them. Toni Wine, who co-wrote with Carole Bayer Sager, is also on the ballot. The group WAR is seeking induction as the largest ensemble, while members of ZZ Top and Bob Feldman are also nominated posthumously.
Voting members of the Songwriters Hall of Fame have until December 14 to submit their ballots. The Hall of Fame, established in 1969, honors songwriters across all genres, with approximately 400 members enshrined to date. The Class of 2027 will be divided equally between non-performing and performing songwriters.
