Mariah Carey and Shakira represent a continued push to recognize pop icons, while Lauryn Hill's nomination highlights the Hall's increasing appreciation for hip-hop's influence. Iron Maiden's inclusion marks another chance for metal fans to see their favorites enshrined, and Wu-Tang Clan earns their second nomination, solidifying their place as hip-hop legends. Oasis, the Britpop band, receives their first nomination, acknowledging their significant impact on 90s alternative rock. Sade, known for her smooth R&B and jazz-infused sound, rounds out the diverse list. Ballots will be sent to a voting body of artists, historians, and music industry members. The top vote-getters will be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in a ceremony later this year. Fan voting is also open to the public and counts as one ballot.
