Dolly Parton has been voted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, despite previously asking to "respectfully bow out" of contention for the honour.
The singer said in March that she was "extremely flattered" to be nominated, but felt she had not "earned the right" to be counted as a rock artist.
However, she was too late because the ballots had already gone out.
As a result, the star will be inducted in November alongside Eminem, Carly Simon, the Eurythmics and Duran Duran.
Other new entrants include soul legend Lionel Richie and Hit Me With Your Best Shot singer Pat Benatar.
Meanwhile, British heavy metal band Judas Priest will receive the musical excellence award, as will producers Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, whose work with Janet Jackson changed the sound of US pop in the 1980s and 90s.
Parton, whose hits include Jolene, I Will Always Love You and 9 To 5, initially rejected her nomination, saying she didn't think country music was eligible.
"I do hope that the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame will understand and be willing to consider me again if I'm ever worthy," she said in March. "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!"
Organisers rejected her rejection, though, saying that Rock & Roll "is not defined by any one genre".
