To be announced in January, the winners of the 2020 intake are determined by votes from fans, as well as from a group of artists, historians and music industry members.
In order to be eligible for nomination, the first recording from the artist must have been released at least 25 years ago. This year is the first time The Notorious B.I.G, Soundgarden, Motörhead, DMB and Whitney Houston have been nominated.
Several nominees from previous years missed out on another nomination, including The Smiths, The Eurythmics and Kate Bush.
