Janet Jackson has done it!
After non-three consecutive years on the nominees ballot, the Queen of Pop has been confirmed for induction into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame.
One of the highest honors attainable for any musician, Jackson’s entry is notable on several fronts.
Full story below…
Leading the list, the superstar singer and the following make up the class of 2019:
Janet Jackson
Def Leppard
Stevie Nicks
The Cure
Radiohead
The Zombies
Roxy Music
***********
Though eligible for over a decade (2007), Jackson was first put on the longlist for the class of 2016. Snubbed then, she would go on to be nominated for entry in 2017 – but was again shut-out.
Third time’s clearly a charm, because Ms. Jackson is officially set for the coveted Hall.
Perhaps it’s divine timing, as her entry will tally with the 30th anniversary of her groundbreaking and game-changing ‘Rhythm Nation’ album.
In being welcomed into the Hall, the diva joins an elite list of names including brothers Michael Jackson (solo), The Jackson 5 (group), Madonna, and Prince.
Speaking on the honor, she said in a statement:
“Thank you Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I am truly honored and I am happy to be in there with my brothers.”
The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 2019 Induction Ceremony, presented by Klipsch Audio, will be held at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York on March 29th 2019.

Congrats to Janet Jackson, Stevie Nicks and The Cure! ?? “Again, back to The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame induction, which is difficult to get…not everyone has that.” ?
It’s A about time. Congratulations to her
FINALLY!!! I have no words!!! I love you Janet!
WONDERFUL NEWS!!’ What a way to end the year for Ms. Jackson and what a wonderful accomplishment. The Jackson clan must be beside themselves…the dynasty lives. Joe and Mike are smiling.
The stars have definitely aligned for Janet. She came back from the wilderness snatched body and tour with choreography and energy that was a SLAY ? Imma need her to slay a live award show performance, drop the Netflix documentary as a lead up to an album campaign with classic Janet tracks with a twist and drop some well executed video treatments with choreo, multiple looks, and storylines. Go on Miss Janet ???
Wtf is a non-three? Is it a two or a four? Lmao sheesh….. back on topic, about time! Congrats, Queen Mutha ????
MAJOR congrats to Janet! LONG overdue and MUCH deserved! This means the Jackson Family is the only family act inducted into the RRHOF. LEGENDS ONLY!
Now it’s time to get Whitney & TLC inducted next.
Love ❤️ her
The african ameriç mariah carey sings just like african america janet
Listen to honey she cant sing the wispers.not like me
Love whitneyy houston a
2018 has been Janet’s year for awards!!! Congrats ? wish papa Joe and Mike were living to witness but I’m they’ll be with her.
Finally! Whitney and Mariah next
How she get in before Beyonce, hell no I demand a recount or something
You sound stupid AF! You have to be a troll to even think that Beyoncé is even eligible right now for the RRHOF. These kids, I tell ya…You can however demand a recount of these nuts in your mouth! ?
These music rookies stay coming outta pocket. Smh If it wasn’t for Janet there
would be no Beyonce. Let that sink in.
Beyonce won’t be eligible as a member of Destiny’s Child for another 3-4 years, and as a solo act for another 6.
She won’t be eligible with Destiny’s Child until 5 years. DC’s first album came out in 1998. She won’t be eligible as a solo artist until another 10 years. DIL came out in 2003.
Congrats Janet Jackson
?Final-fuqing-ly!! This makes me so happy! ??
This honor is long overdue for a woman who has been contributing to the world of entertainment and ‘rock-n-roll’ (not to mention her countless generous philanthropic contributions) since she was SEVEN YEARS OLD.
And Janet shares the graduating class with a few of my other Favs, Stevie Nicks, Def Leppard, Radiohead and Roxy Music. ❤
Its about damn time! Congrats Janet.
Really nice to see a true QUEEN get their flowers! Janet’s one of a kind and there is simply No denying her what she’s due! I knew it would all work out in the end, she’s such a special person!
Yaaas! ✅ ?

Chaka Khan and Kraftwerk should have gotten in too.
And more Awards to come for Miss Jackson!
The Queen of Pop was inducted in 2008. this b**** only got in because of the backlash from her fans calling them racist for not giving it to her. how sad and pathetic.
FINALLY! This is so long overdue! Janet’s paid the cost to be the boss and then for decades! However, I had a strong feeling Janet would get inducted this year b/c this was the Year of Janet! She’s her getting lifetime achievement awards left and right all year! I’m so proud to be a Janet stan!
But Janet has never performed a rock n roll song in ger entire career!
