Jay-Z, Tina Turner, Mary J. Blige, and More Among 2021 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Nominees
The list of this year’s Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nominees has been revealed, and several greats are on the ballot including Jay-Z, Tina Turner, and Mary J. Blige.
Being inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is a career milestone that nearly all musicians strive to reach. Music legends from all genres like Michael Jackson, Aerosmith and Prince have received the honor.
This year, another set of musical icons are being considered for induction ranging from rappers to rock stars who have all had successful and decades-long careers. In order to be considered for a nomination, artists must have released their first commercial recording at least 25 years before the nomination year.
Jayz and Mary J Blige nominated for the Rock and Roll hall of fame induction is a good feeling. How many times can I vote?

Many fans are happy with this year’s nominees, and they’re hoping that their favorites make the final cut. A lot of people are shocked that Tina Turner has yet to be inducted as a solo artist, and they think her induction is long overdue.
