Janet Jackson will be immortalized in music history with her induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2019.

The “Made For Now” singer had been nominated for induction in 2016 and 2017 before earning her place in this year’s class. Jackson will join her brother Michael and the rest of the Jackson 5 in the coveted Hall of Fame.

Other inductees for 2019 include The Cure, Def Leppard, Stevie Nicks, Radiohead, Roxy Music and The Zombies.

More than 1,000 artists, historians and music industry professionals voted on which artists they thought deserved the honor. Fans were also able to vote for their favorite musicians.

The 34th annual ceremony takes place at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center on March 29, 2019. HBO and SiriusXM will broadcast the ceremony at a later date.
