[AIDS!]

That #inductjanet campaign finally paid off

[AIDS!]

Janet is an obvious choice
Who else has 3 albums in their 500 greatest albums of all time list?

No, my first name ain?t ?Baby,? it?s Janet ? Miss Jackson, if you?re nasty.? With innovation and bravado, Janet Jackson brushed aside the challenges of being a superstar?s sibling and became one of pop music?s dominant figures. The youngest member of the Jackson clan, she was first in the spotlight as a child actress on the TV series Good Times and Fame. But it was with the five-times-platinum Control album in 1986 that she staked her claim as an R&B powerhouse. Working with the visionary production team of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, she fused melodic dance-pop with more aggressive beats, influenced by industrial and hip hop sounds, and helped usher in the new jack swing era. Such juggernauts as Rhythm Nation 1814 and janet. secured Jackson?s position as a global icon, as she explored themes of social justice and daring sexuality in her lyrics. With over 160 million records sold, she is one of the best-selling artists in history, and she still holds the record for the most consecutive Top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 by a female artist with 18. Jackson?s sonic and visual style loom large over the generation that followed, including Beyonc?, Britney Spears, Lady Gaga and Rihanna ? as evidenced in the last few months by the likes of J. Cole and Missy Elliott contributing to her latest singles.

Hehe

And LEAD the polls bitch

I hope she gets in. She deserves it.

She deserves it, uhhhh!!!

About time. They always passed her over.

Not really. I think it makes sense now because it'll be 30 years since the release of Control. She was technically eligible because she released an album when she was 16 but that doesn't mark the beginning of Janet's influence.

Going by this logic she would have been nominated 25 years after Control (2011).

Janet Jackson adds 'wow' factor to 2016 Rock Hall Nominations

CLEVELAND, Ohio ? The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a museum that honors the rich history of music, while featuring the most influential and impactful artists of all-time. The annual Rock Hall Induction Ceremony is a bit of a different story.

The ceremony, while honoring legendary artists, has to worry about selling tickets and drawing viewers to HBO. With that being said, the nomination committee has found no better candidate to put butts in the seats next April than Janet Jackson.

Jackson, one of this year's 15 nominees, may be one of the more polarizing acts on the ballot. But her significance as one of the biggest music stars of all-time can't be denied.

Jackson has sold over 100 million records worldwide. That's more than Linda Ronstadt, Van Halen, Tom Petty, Green Day, the Police and several of other inductees you want to throw into the mix.

Jackson has more than 20 top-10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, including 10 No.1's. She has as many as four seminal albums that paved the way for some of the biggest pop stars of this generation, from Beyonce and Usher to Rihanna and Katy Perry.

More importantly, Jackson's new album, "Unbreakable," is on pace to become her seventh chart-topper on the Billboard 200. Add that to Jackson's current world tour and you have, arguably, the most relevant artist among this year's nominees.

Sure, Jackson is nowhere near being as "rock" as other nominees and longtime snubs like Deep Purple, The Cars, Steve Miller or Cheap Trick. But, with all due respect, none of those bands are Rock Hall Ceremony headliners.

If you want to subscribe to the theory that the Rock Hall Inductions are a highly political process (which they probably are), consider what a headliner means for the ceremony. All you have to do is compare a year like 2014, when Nirvana and Kiss were inducted, to 2011, when your headliner was...Alice Cooper? Tom Waits? Neil Diamond? How do you think those ratings did?

When you're looking to uphold the integrity of a museum, perhaps sales and popularity shouldn't matter. But you're naive if you think they aren't huge factors when planning one of music's biggest annual events.

A hypothetical class featuring, say, Nine Inch Nails, Steve Miller, Chicago, Deep Purple and Chaka Khan would be exceptional. But where's the "wow" factor?

Younger audiences may not be all that familiar with the likes of Yes, Chicago or Cheap Trick, aside from a few songs they've sung at high-school parties or college bars. And the incomparable Trent Reznor, who is currently reshaping the way we consume music with Apple, doesn't exactly relish the spotlight.

If you want a headliner in 2016, it's Miss Jackson (if you're nasty or not). She's a sure bet to perform at next April's ceremony. Never mind the likelihood that a massive pop star like Justin Timberlake or Rihanna could induct her.
Will any of these facts satisfy diehards that are still upset artists like Donna Summer or even Hall and Oates got inducted before The Moody Blues or Dire Straits? No.

I guess I could give you another potential headliner for 2016. How about N.W.A.? Well, that's likely to spark an entirely different (and much larger) debate.
