In addition to a fan-fueled ballot, the pool of nominees will be narrowed down by a vote from a group of 1,000 artists, historians, and industry professionals, with the final roster of inductees to be announced in May.

Artists become eligible for inclusion in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 25 years after the release of their first official recording. Recent inductees include Janet Jackson, Jay-Z, Tina Turner, and the late Whitney Houston.
