I saw something interesting here when running down who got inducted based on how many ballots they were on. The results are a bit shocking...and weird.

2002 - Brenda Lee, ninth solo female inductee, took until her third ballot
2007 - Patti Smith, tenth solo female inductees, took until her SEVENTH ballot to get in, surpassed Ruth Brown and LaVern Baker for the longest wait... who knows what was the hold up?!

Tina WOULD seem like a first ballot inductee but the RRHOF actually nominated her first in 1987 (apparently almost doing to her what they did to Smokey Robinson). Carole King was nominated immediately after she became eligible (1989 ceremony). Of course most of the first ballot inductees got nominated YEARS after they became eligible, which is more normal than not. But yeah, there you go!

Imagine the U.S. presidential ballots. You can choose not to vote, but every citizen should have the right to vote, regardless of whether they vote for someone, abstain, or otherwise; they should not be deprived of their ballot. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame should operate in a similar manner regarding past inductees.

What do you think Mariah Carey's ranking will be in the final voting results this year? I think it will be #9-#10, but if she doesn't even make the top ten, considering her fame and popularity, it would definitely be a very poor performance for her.

Oops, shouldn't have included Patti since it took until her 7th ballot. So that leaves just 7 artists who Clive actually worked with that got in on their first ballot. Add in artists he discovered, 8 (Springsteen).
