The Country Music Hall of Fame currently has 149 members, with 64 waiting to be inducted this year. Each year, the Hall inducts three members: one from the Modern Era, one from the Veterans Era, and one from a rotating third category. The debate often centers around which Modern Era artist should be inducted next, with popular contenders being Kenny Chesney, Tim McGraw, and Shania Twain. The list includes eligible artists who have won awards or dominated a decade. The induction ceremony usually takes place in October.
