Summary
- Mariah Carey expressed indifference to not being inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

- Carey recently listed her New York penthouse for sale at $27 million.
Mariah Carey has revealed she is unbothered by not being selected for induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame this year. When asked by TMZ on April 22, 2026, about the nomination omission, the iconic singer stated, "Yeah, who cares?" She added, "Give it to somebody else. Fantastic!"
Carey, a three-time nominee, was considered a strong contender due to her record of 19 No. 1 songs, surpassing artists like Taylor Swift and Rihanna. However, her name was absent from the list of eight inductees announced earlier this month. Other notable musicians also left off the list include Melissa Etheridge and Lauryn Hill.
While navigating this latest career development, Carey has been active, performing at the Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony in Milan in February 2026. Additionally, she has listed her New York penthouse, famously featured on MTV's "Cribs," for $27 million and plans to buy a new home outside the city. She also quipped about already planning for the 2026 Christmas season.
