The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame's annual Fan Vote is off to its hottest start in several years.
By the numbers: The poll was approaching 2 million votes as of Monday afternoon, its fastest start since 2020, when Dave Matthews Band fans came out in droves.
Phil Collins is leading this year's crop of 17 nominees, followed by New Edition, P!NK, Luther Vandross, Billy Idol, INXS and Sade.
How it works: The top seven acts will constitute a single "fan ballot" added to a pool of more than 1,200 votes from journalists, music historians and living Hall of Famers.
What's next: The Rock Hall will announce the class of 2026 in April.
The annual ceremony will take place this fall at a yet-to-be-announced venue.
