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 were sent to an international voting body of more than 1,000 artists, historians, and members of the music industry. 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.

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame offered fans the opportunity to participate in the Induction selection process with the 2022 Induction Fan Vote sponsored by Ohio. Find It Here.  The top five artists, lead by Duran Duran as selected by the public, comprised a “fans’ ballot” that was tallied along with the other ballots to select the 2022 Inductees.

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 2022 Induction Ceremony will take place November 5 in Los Angeles, California. Ticket information to be announced.
