Luther Vandross and Phil Collins have been eligible for the Rock Hall for 20 years, and Sade for almost as long.

They're all in the class of 2026, along with British post-punk legends Joy Division and their spin-off group New Order.

Two more British acts, Iron Maiden and Billy Idol, made the cut this year after being active since the 1970s.

And Oasis, in the midst of a long-anticipated reunion, will also be inducted on November 14th in Los Angeles.

Rounding up this year's class is Wu-Tang Clan, the hip-hop collective that's been the subject of numerous documentaries in the past decade.

Luther Vandross has been eligible since 2006, the year after he died.

He's now on the ballot for the first time.

Acts can be nominated 25 years after the release of their first record.

The new ballot also has an international flavor with Colombian singer Shakira, Nigerian-born Sade, British heavy metal pioneers Iron Maiden, and Australian hitmakers in excess.

Fans can vote online, and the final inductees are announced in April.

This crisis is in the administration's hands.

Salt and Peppa tore up the stage at the inductions in Los Angeles, playing a medley of their 90s hip-hop hits.
