Market Data 
March 2022: Parton initially said she would turn down her nomination for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, but she said Dean has encouraged her to make a rock album.
In March 2022, Parton was one of 17 artists shortlisted and one of seven first-time nominees.
“Even though I am extremely flattered and grateful to be nominated for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, I don’t feel that I have earned that right,” she said in a statement. “I really do not want votes to be split because of me, so I must respectfully bow out.”
She added, “This has, however, inspired me to put out a hopefully great rock ‘n’ roll album at some point in the future, which I have always wanted to do! My husband is a total rock ‘n’ roll freak, and has always encouraged me to do one.”
The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame declined Parton’s request to be removed from the ballot, saying in a statement, in part, “In addition to her incredible talent as an artist, her humility is another reason Dolly is a beloved icon by millions of fans around the world.”
In April, she changed her tune and said she would accept the honor, if she was voted in.
“I’ll accept gracefully. I’ll just say ‘Thanks’ and I will accept it because the fans vote,” she told NPR’s “Morning Edition.”
In May 2022, it was announced she had indeed been voted in.
