It's important to note that winning the fan ballot does not guarantee induction. Instead, the five artists with the most votes will comprise a “fan ballot” that will be tallied with the other ballots when the 2022 inductees are announced at some time in May.

To be eligible for nomination, an individual artist or band must have released its first commercial recording at least 25 years prior to the year of nomination.

“Nominee ballots are sent to an international voting body of more than 1,000 artists, historian, and members of the music industry,” Rock Hall officials explain. “Factors such as 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 are taken into consideration.”
