The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame concluded its annual fan vote Monday.

Why it matters: Since the online poll debuted in 2012, the No. 1 vote-getter has been inducted all but once.

The lone exception was Dave Matthews Band in 2020.

The intrigue: This year's top-seven vote-getters, in order — Dave Matthews Band, Peter Frampton, Foreigner, Ozzy Osbourne, Cher, Lenny Kravitz and Kool & the Gang — will comprise a single "fan ballot" added to a pool of more than 1,000 votes.

By the numbers: All but six artists (DMB, Soundgarden, Cindy Lauper, Warren Zevon, Fela Kuti and Iron Maiden) that have made the fan ballot in previous years are now Rock Hall inductees.

What's next: The Rock Hall will announce its class of 2024 before the end of the month.

The induction ceremony will take place at a to-be-announced date this fall in Cleveland.

Go deeper: Women will rule the Rock Hall moving forward
