Fans have a chance to vote for either one of the singers, as well as other music icons selected to possibly be inducted into the Hall of Fame this year.
“To be eligible for nomination, an individual artist or band must have released their first commercial recording 25 full years prior to the year of Induction,” the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame states. “With the new Induction cycle that began in 2020, the Nominating Committee now meets in the same year the Inductee class is honored. You can now subtract 25 from the Induction year to determine the year of eligibility.”
Others nominated include Mariah Carey, Lauryn Hill, Phil Collins, Iron Maiden, Wu-Tang Clan, and Sade.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has held its inductee ceremony since 1986. Last year’s inductee class included Cyndi Lauper, Joe Cocker, Salt-N-Pepa, Thom Bell, and The White Stripes.
