Where do singers and bands go who are not perfect fits for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame go? Deserving pop stars go to America’s Pop Music Hall of Fame. The newest inductees were announced for the America’s Pop Music Hall of Fame, and Michael Jackson has received the largest number of votes for induction.
Michael is already in the Vocal Group Hall of Fame, the Grammy Hall of Fame, the National Museum of Dance Hall of Fame Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Rhythm and Blues Hall of Fame and the UK Music Hall of Fame.
The America’s Pop Music Hall of Fame honors many artists that don’t fit into any of the other hall of fame. The obvious choices are previous inductees Beach Boys, Barbra Streisand, the Monkees, Glen Campbell, the Beatles, Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley. Pennsylvania natives Bobby Vinton and Perry Como are also members. There are 71 total members in this prestigious Pop Hall.
