While lots of deserving bands and performers wait for their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Hall has already inducted numerous performers twice.
From every member of the Beatles to Michael Jackson to Ozzy Osbourne, nearly 30 artists are multiple inductees. And there’s even one artist who has been inducted three times!
Let’s take a look at every artist with multiple inductions into the Rock Hall. (See also our complete list of Rock Hall inductees by year.)
Artists Who Have Been Inducted into the Hall Three Times

What About the Singles Category?
The Rock Hall briefly had a strange singles category to induct individual songs. A small number of artists have been inducted both as performers, and again through the singles category:
The Isley Brothers
Inducted as a performer (1992)
Inducted for “Twist and Shout” (2019)
Chubby Checker
Inducted as a performer (2025)
Inducted for “The Twist” (2018)
Link Wray
Inducted as a performer (2023)
Inducted for “Rumble” (2018)
Do you have any other suggestions for artists who should be inducted twice?
