ROCK HALL: So Who Will Get Elected?

Now that Bon Jovi has won the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Fan Vote, the question is, who will actually be elected?

Despite more than 6.8-million votes cast for the 19 nominees, the Top 5 artists selected by the public will only count as one ballot along with the thousands that will determine the 2018 inductees.

So while the Top 5 fan favorites -- Bon Jovi, The Moody Blues, Dire Straits, The Carsand Judas Priest -- got 3.8-million votes, an artist who got fewer votes may still be elected. For example, Cheap Trick placed seventh in the Fan Vote in 2015, but was elected, while Yes and The Cars came in second and third in the fan vote and still didn't get in.

The Class of 2018 will be announced next Wednesday, with the 33rd annual induction ceremony set for April 14th in Cleveland. HBO will air highlights of the ceremony later in the spring.
