    Well how long does it usually take until the announcement normally? I doubt it takes two weeks for an announcement.

    About The Song Project, Johnny wrote:
    I think Towerman might be wrong about Do It ('Til You're Satisfied). The song itself wasn't already inducted before the 1970s Song Vote. But the album of the same title was. I think there within lies the confusion.

    About the 2026 Nominees, omar wrote:
    Official voting ends in March 28 though. Fam vote only counts for one for previous years (this year rock hall changes fan voting operations obviously, will not be surprised if rock halla actually decides to add more weights to fan vote, despite John Sykes seemed to directly saying fan vote is useless). Just one vote, unless two acts just differ in one vote, one vote won't make any difference. And if #7 and #8 just differ in one vote (or any number less than 20 votes), probably both will be included

    So basically the main result will be decided in next week, and they definitely can select other categories in next next week. (I think the probably the seven inductees are already decided now already)

    Previous years I think official voting ended around same time with fan vote, this year is a little different

    So it could be a week after official voting right? That is announcing April 5/April 6 at earliest.

    But don't think they will announce it when people are watching ncaam championship game, so it is going to be April 13 in American Idol?
