Cher Slams Rock & Roll Hall of Fame for Snubbing Her – The Hollywood Reporter

Dec 19, 2023

Cher called out the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame for failing to induct her throughout her record-breaking decades-long music career.

The Grammy-winning singer, who made history this month as the first female artist to have a No. 1 song in each of the past seven decades, shared her thoughts on Friday’s episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show regarding her exclusion from the prestigious music museum.

“You know what, I wouldn’t be in it now if they gave me a million dollars,” Cher told host Kelly Clarkson, who was clearly surprised, adding, “Are you serious? … That is brand new information for me.”

“I’m not kidding you. I was about to say something else. … I was about to say I’m not shitting you,” the legendary singer added. “I’m never going to change my mind. They can just go you-know-what themselves.”

Cher’s comments came after Clarkson praised her latest milestone, where she became one of two artists, including The Rolling Stones, to have a song reach the top of the charts for the past seven decades straight, thanks to her latest Christmas track, “DJ Play A Christmas Song.”

The singer also joked of the accomplishment, “It took four of them to be one of me.”

Looking past the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame snub, Cher acknowledged that she “changed music forever with ‘Believe.’” The single, which was released in 1998, spent four weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and continues to be a success to this day.

Clarkson added that she hears some similarities between “Believe” and the singer’s latest holiday single, “DJ Play A Christmas Song.”

“I feel like how massive in pop culture and everything and how it hit and impacted the pop culture community — ‘Believe’ did, I feel like that’s the same vibe as ‘DJ Play A Christmas Song,’” Clarkson said. “It’s that same vibe. No one has that sound. I almost think, if somebody sent me that song for my Christmas record, I was like, ‘I don’t know if I could pull this off. I don’t know if this is me.’ Like it’s so you, the sound is so Cher. It’s so incredible. I love it so much, and I kind of feel like it’s the same thing, the same impact.”
