The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame has announced its nominees for 2020, with a diverse list of artists spanning genres like pop, rock, and hip-hop. Mariah Carey, Outkast, Maná, and Chubby Checker are among the first-time nominees.
Mariah Carey performs during a concert celebrating One Year to Go, Dubai Expo 2020, in the United Arab Emirates on Sunday, Oct. 20, 2019. “These remarkable nominees have each created their own musical style and attitude, impacting generations of music lovers and contributing to the ever-evolving sounds and continued growth of rock & roll,” said John Sykes, chairman of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation.
Chubby Checker arrives at the 37th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards on Sunday, June 27, 2010, in Las Vegas. Carey has won five Grammy Awards and has 19 number-one hits on the Billboard Hot 100 charts. She is best known for her hit songs, “We Belong Together,” “Fantasy,” and “Touch My Body.” “I’m not doing it to get into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame at all,” Checker said during an interview with The Associated Press in 2004. “I don’t get the airplay that one in my position deserves. ’Twist and Shout’ gets more airplay than ‘The Twist,’ and that’s not right.”
Bad Company, The Black Crowes, Chubby Checker, Joe Cocker, Billy Idol, Maná, Outkast, and Phish have been nominated for the first time, according to the foundation.
