Justin, who’s earned both Grammy and Juno nods, is the latest artist in history to be nominated for album and record of the year (referred to as ‘single’ at the Junos) in the same year – The Weeknd first achieved this six years ago.

Charlotte Cardin along with Avril Lavigne, Arkells, and Mustafa are the first artists announced to perform at the 2022 Juno Awards.
