"The music industry is built upon the incredible talent of songwriters who create unforgettable songs. Without their artistry, there would be no recorded music, concert experiences, or engaged fans. Everything originates from the song and its creator. We take great pride in our ongoing commitment to recognizing some of the most culturally significant composers in history," Songwriters Hall of Fame chairman Nile Rodgers said in a statement on Wednesday. "This year's lineup not only showcases iconic songs but also celebrates unity across various genres. These songwriters have profoundly impacted the lives of billions of listeners worldwide, and it is our privilege to honor their contributions," Rodgers added. To qualify for the Songwriters Hall of Fame induction, artists have to have penned a major catalog of songs with successful commercial releases. Music icon Swift's other hit songs include "Blank Space," "Anti-Hero," "Love Story" and "The Last Great American Dynasty." Morissette is best known for penning songs like "You Oughta Know," "Ironic," "Hand in My Pocket" and "Uninvited." Afanasieff, a frequent collaborator with Mariah Carey, wrote hit songs like "All I Want For Christmas Is You," "My All," "Hero," "Love Will Survive" and "One Sweet Day."
