I think that next year is finally Mariah Carey's year for induction, As well as it should be. I think that they will give Mariah a third straight nomination next year for 2026 just like they did with The Cars, Todd Rundgren and A Tribe Called Quest and she'll get in on her third try next year for 2026 just like The Cars, Todd Rundgren and ATCQ did. As much as I love Alicia Keys, I just don't see her as a FYE nominee/inductee, I think that they will wait on her until after Beyonce gets nominated/inducted FYE in 2027. so I just don't see her getting inducted before Mariah, I really think that it's finally Mariah's year next year, As well as it should be.
I also think that next year is Billy Idol's year for induction, As well as it should be. As much as I love INXS and Motley Crue, I just don't see either of them getting inducted before Billy, I really think that it's Billy's year next year, As well as it should be.
It’s not always the case, but usually when an artist such as Billy Idol doesn’t get their first nomination until after they had already been eligible for more than a decade, the committee tends to wait another year until they get a second nomination. That’s what they did with Cyndi Lauper. That’s why I think they’re more likely to skip Idol next year and nominate a different 80’s artist instead.
