The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame fan vote is about a month away from coming to an end, and a clear leader has emerged.

As of publishing, Duran Duran has a commanding lead with 735,112 votes and has seemingly pulled away from Eminem, who currently has 603,421 votes. As previously reported, the fanbases for Duran Duran and Eminem were engaged in an interesting feud on social media for the top spot on the fan vote ballot.

As with previous years, the public has the opportunity to voice their choice via the Fan Vote at RockHall.com. Fans are allowed to vote once per day during the Fan Vote period which runs through April 30. Visitors of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum in Cleveland will also have the opportunity to vote in person. The "Fans' Ballot" will be comprised of the top five artists from the fan vote and will be counted among the other ballots filled out by various artists, historians, and music industry professionals.
