“Margaritaville” Added to Library of Congress’ National Recording Registry

Jimmy Buffett’s signature song “Margaritaville” is one of 25 songs to be added this year to the Library of Congress’ National Recording Registry.

The National Recording Registry seeks to preserve recordings for their cultural, historical or aesthetic significance in the nation’s sound heritage.

“The National Recording Registry preserves our history through recorded sound and reflects our nation’s diverse culture,” said Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden. “The national library is proud to help ensure these recordings are preserved for generations to come.”

With the addition of these 25 songs, the Library’s registry now houses 625 titles.

Other recordings added this year include Led Zeppelin’s “Stairway to Heaven,” John Lennon’s “Imagine,” the Madonna album “Like a Virgin,” and the theme music from the Nintendo video game “Super Mario Bros.”
