Janet Jackson Among Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 2019 Nominees

Janet Jackson's
She ranked No. 7 on Billboard’s 2013 list of Top Artists in Hot 100 History. She has 27 Top Ten hits. She has three of the most influential albums of an era (Control, Rhythm Nation 1814, and Janet.), as well as some of its most iconic music videos. She has sold an estimated 160 million records. And she has influenced hundreds of major artists over multiple generations, including Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, Beyoncé, and Janelle Monáe.
The 52-year-old "Made for Now" singer is one of 15 nominees included on the shortlist for induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame's Class of 2019. Others in consideration include Def Leppard, Devo, John Prine, Kraftwerk, LL Cool J, MC5, Radiohead, Rage Against the Machine, Roxy Music, Stevie Nicks, The Cure, Todd Rundgren, Rufus feat. Chaka Khan and The Zombies. This is Jackson's third nomination, following recommendations in 2016 and 2017.
Artists become eligible for nomination 25 years after the release of their first recording. Ballots are sent to an international voting body of more than 1,000 artists, historians, and music industry figures who consider "an artist's musical influence on other artists, length and depth of career and the body of work, innovation, and superiority in style and technique," according to Rock Hall. A fan ballot is also available online and in person at the Rock Hall's museum in Cleveland. Ballots are now open, and fans can cast a vote a day through Dec. 9 at 11:59 p.m. ET.
The final list will be revealed in December, and the induction ceremony is scheduled for March 29 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn; HBO and SiriusXM Radio will broadcast excerpts later.
