Shakira, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: Over 700,000 Votes, Oasis, Iron Maiden, and the Controversy Over Her Exclusion from the Class of 2026

Shakira made history by becoming the first Latin American artist nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In the public vote, she garnered over 700,000 votes and finished in fourth place, surpassing names like Oasis and Iron Maiden.

But something happened that surprised her fans: despite this result in the public vote, Shakira was not included in the Class of 2026.

In this video, we review the whole story: how the voting worked, how many votes she received, which artists she surpassed, how the selection process actually works, and what message Shakira shared with her fans after learning of the decision.

We also discuss the 24 fan clubs from 14 countries that participated in the campaign and the debate surrounding the representation of Latin music within the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Was this simply the normal course of the selection process, or does it raise further questions about the place of Latin music in this institution?
