ARIA Hall of Fame Inductees

The following were inducted into the 2009 ARIA Hall of Fame on 27 August at Melbourne's Forum Theatre:[6]

Judging academy

A breakdown of the 2009 judging academy.

In 2009, the generalist categories were determined by the "voting academy", which consisted of about 1000 representatives from across the music industry. (See pie chart at right for percentage breakdowns.)

Members of the academy are kept secret. Membership is by invitation only. An individual record company may have up to eight members on the academy. The only artists eligible to vote are winners and nominees from the previous year's awards.

Notes

  1. ^ Despite the ARIA Awards website saying C. W. Stoneking was nominated for this award, the video for this award on the Official ARIA YouTube channel shows that Sia was nominated. This is the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DryNVmJ_AHs
