First, the official announcement: America’s Pop Music Hall of Fame Announces 2015 Inductees at: http://www.americaspopmusichalloffame.o ... 8BFEFF496A" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
A crossover country singer, guitarist and composer, he (Glen Campbell) recorded the definitive versions of “By the Time I Get to Phoenix,” “Wichita Lineman“ and “Gentle on My Mind” in the 1960s, and had considerable success into the 1970s with “Rhinestone Cowboy” and “Southern Nights,” among others….
Also, an interview with Terry Hazlett, the executive director of America’s Pop Music Hall of Fame:

Pop Music Hall of Fame inductees for 2015 are announced
by Brad Hundt
The inductees were voted on by the public, in keeping with the Hall of Fame’s populist bent, from a pool of nominees selected by radio and music industry professionals. The artists were chosen based on their hitmaking prowess and the influence of their work.
Many thanks to Glen Campbell fans and other music fans for voting for the artists to be inducted! Perhaps Glen had the luck of the Irish behind him, too!
“I think the public did a pretty good job this year,” said Terry Hazlett, the executive director of America’s Pop Music Hall of Fame and a former borough manager of Canonsburg. “Most of the acts that should have gotten in got in.” He said that over 1 million votes were cast online, with votes coming from many points across the country and around the globe – a large number, in fact, came from Ireland.

Another news leak, basically the same information. Nice photos of Glen and Linda Ronstadt.

And here is a link to the induction ceremony held earlier this year for The Monkees, just to give us an idea of what the ceremony may look like for the 2015 inductees--as well as the Hall of Fame's award trophy / plaque:

"It's true! (However, the release date on the press release was for Jan. 1, 2015. But, since it's already out there, please feel free to pass it on."

Congratulations to Glen Campbell and the other inductees! We will keep members and readers posted on Glen's induction when more news is formally released by the Pop Music Hall of Fame!
