  "account": "The Songwriters Hall of Fame announced its 2027 class of nominees on June 17, 2026. Prominent names among the nominees include Lady Gaga, Shakira, and P!nk. These artists could bring high-profile attention to the induction ceremony.\n\nFor induction, a songwriter must have a catalog of notable songs, with the qualification set 20 years after their first commercial release. Lady Gaga's \"Just Dance\" (featuring Colby O'Donis) was released in 2008, nearing the 20-year mark.\n\nTaylor Swift, the first recipient of the Hal David Starlight Award, which recognizes emerging songwriters, has been elected to the Hall. Ne-Yo, on this year's ballot, could become the second recipient of the Starlight Award to be inducted.\n\nSeveral nominees have collaborated with previous SHOF inductees, such as Pete Bellotte who penned hits with Donna Summer, and Andreas Carlsson who co-wrote hits with Max Martin. Toni Wine and The Isley Brothers are among the vocal performers vying for the spot.\n\nThis year, twenty-six songwriters or teams are competing for six slots, with half the votes going to non-performing songwriters and the other half to performing songwriters. Voters will select up to three in each category. The ballots are due to the Songwriters Hall of Fame by midnight ET on December 14, 2026.",
