You might expect tried and true rockers like Phil Collins, INXS, Billy Idol, the Black Crowes, Oasis or Iron Maiden to own the top spot of the fan vote, since their catalogs align closely with what’s thought of as traditional rock ‘n’ roll.
However, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame opened its criteria for nominees several years ago to pop, hip-hop and R&B acts that might not exactly be classified as rock ‘n’ roll but have still had substantial and influential careers.
As of March 24, New Edition has more than 757,000 votes and is nearly 100,000 votes ahead of second-place Phil Collins, who has more than 670,000 votes. (We’ve rounded the number up or down to the nearest 1,000). They’re followed by Pink with 611,000, Luther Vandross with 544,000, INXS with 471,000, Sade with 464,000 and Billy Idol rounding out the top seven with 442,000.
Scrapping the bottom rungs are two bands widely associated with rock ‘n’ roll -- the Black Crowes (206,000) and Oasis (201,000), followed by Joy Division + New Order (174,000) and Jeff Buckley (131,000).
We spotted a Feb. 25 post in the New Edition 4 Lyfe! Facebook group urging fans to vote. “You can vote once a day for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nominees until April 3rd, 2026. Also you can vote with multiple email addresses. The fellas only have 21,510 votes so far. There are over 300,000 fans in this group. Step it up y'all. We need those votes!!!!”
Yet, there is some hope for New Edition, the odds are in their favor. About 64% of artists who won the fan vote were inducted into the Rock Hall that same year, and approximately 90% eventually made in following years.
