To be eligible, an artist must have released their first commercial recording 25 years earlier than the year of the nomination. Despite this, it can sometimes take decades to snag an official nod, like Parton from this year’s list, whose first song “Puppy Love” was released more than 60 years ago.
On occasion, artists who’ve made particularly significant moves in their career will become a nominee as soon as they are eligible. On this year’s list, that’s the case for Eminem, who dropped his debut album in 1996. The same happened to RRHOF inductee Jay-Z in 2021.
Though some artists have a long way to go before they are able to snag a spot in the coveted Rock Hall (we’re looking at you, Olivia Rodrigo), Billboard has rounded up when some of the biggest names in music will become eligible for induction. Find the list below.
