Staten Island's Wu-Tang Clan to Enter the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame

  • On Monday's airing of American Idol, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame unveiled its 2026 class of inductees, featuring the Wu-Tang Clan, Oasis, Phil Collins, and others.
  • More than 1,200 artists, historians, and music industry professionals voted on nominees; artists must have released their first commercial recording at least 25 years before eligibility for induction.
  • Staten Island's Wu-Tang joins the Hall after being hailed as rap innovators since their 1993 debut album "Enter the Wu-Tang ." Collins enters as a solo artist after previously joining as a member of Genesis.
  • Legendary TV host Ed Sullivan will enter the Hall with the Ahmet Ertegun Non-Performer Award; the official induction ceremony takes place November 14 at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles.
  • Several notable artists including Mariah Carey, Lauryn Hill, and INXS were nominated but did not make the 2026 class. Next year, the ceremony returns to the Hall's home of Cleveland.
