The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation has announced this year’s list of nominees, with the top 10!
On Saturday, the Cleveland Museum and Hall of Fame announced the list of 15 artists eligible to be inducted into this year’s ceremony: Mary J. Blige, Mariah Carey, Cher, Dave Matthews Band, Eric B. & Rakim, Foreigner, Peter Frampton, Jane’s Addiction , Kool & the Gang, Lenny Kravitz, Oasis, Sinead O’Connor, Ozzy Osbourne, Sade and A Tribe Called Quest.
“This remarkable list of nominees reflects the diverse artists and music that the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame honors and celebrates,” John Sykes, president of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation, said in a statement. “Continuing in the true spirit of Rock & Roll, these artists created their own sounds that have influenced generations and influenced countless others who followed in their footsteps.”
Eligibility for nomination requires that an artist have released their first commercial recording 25 or more years ago or by 1999, according to the foundation.

Ten of the 15 nominees are appearing on the ballot for the first time, including Carey, Cher, Kravitz, Osbourne, Sade and the late O’Connor.
Thirteen artists made it into last year’s class of inductees into the Hall of Fame — among them, posthumously, George Michael, Chaka Khan, Missy Elliott, Kate Bush and Sheryl Crow.

An international voting body of more than 1,000 artists will participate in the selection of 2,024 candidates. Voters will evaluate potential candidates based on factors ranging from influence and impact on others to longevity and superiority in style or skill.
In late April, the foundation will hold its induction ceremony in Cleveland, and additional information will be revealed. The second year, the 2024 ceremony will be streamed live on Disney+, later air as a special on ABC, and be available to stream on Hulu the day after the telecast.
