Superstars Who Have Never Landed the Cover of 'Rolling Stone'

'Rolling Stone' has featured some of the most celebrated images in rock and roll on its covers since its launch in 1967. Unfortunately, none of these stars have ever scored that special treatment.

Yet to Score Rock's Most Coveted Cover

Stars from all corners of the entertainment industry have been featured on the cover or Rolling Stone, as well as the occasional politician or divisive public figure. But they've never featured these guys. What gives?

Miley Cyrus

Miley Cyrus' contributions to the pop world are rather limited at present, but she's been dominating the news cycle for years now and has sold more concert tickets than many other Rolling Stone coverboys combined. Come on!

Celine Dion

 Celine Dion has never been the poster-girl for "cool," not even when she was clogging up the airwaves for months at a time. But it seems ridiculous that Rolling Stone never gave her a cover when you consider she's one of the top-selling artists of all time, with over 200 million albums sold worldwide.

Cher

It's unfathomable that Cher has never been a Rolling Stone cover girl — not in her Sonny & Cher days, nor during her mesh monokini revival, and definitely not when she started sticking feathers on her head for the Believe era.

The Cure

Critical darlings the Cure have influenced a great number of Rolling Stone cover regulars, but they've never actually graced the front of the magazine. Two of their albums made it into the magazine's list of the Greatest Albums of All Time, however.

Morrissey

Morrissey has never been celebrated on a Rolling Stone cover, with or without the Smiths. He's probably kind of mopey about it.

ABBA

So what if Swedish pop quartet ABBA redefined cheesy for a generation? They've sold over 370 million albums and singles worldwide, and you're still bound to catch at least a snippet of one of their hits should you ever head to Stockholm. If the Bee Gees got a cover, these guys deserved one too.

Norah Jones

There's only a handful of artists who've managed to sell over a million copies of their album in the first week of sales, and gentle crooner Norah Jones happens to be one of them. But Rolling Stone was too busy making room for Lindsay Lohan at the time.

TLC

Rolling Stone listed TLC as one of the "Greatest Trios of All Time" in 2008, but never actually got around to giving them a cover. Nevermind that they are the second best selling girl group of all time.

Ke$ha

As one of the music industry's most polarizing pop stars, Ke$ha seems like a perfect fit for a Rolling Stone cover girl. Somehow it still hasn't happened — yet.

Nicki Minaj

Rolling Stone hasn't made much of an effort to feature female rappers on its covers. Missy Elliott and Eve managed to score the big spot in 2003 alongside Alicia Keys, but it's been slow-going ever since. Maybe that's why Nicki Minaj hasn't had her moment.
