Artist: Michael Bublé

Leave it to my expat brother Alexi, who has been living in Toronto since the end of the last century, to set me straight and send me a list of key mainstream Canadian artists that I left out of my previous post. Some of them I've never heard of (Angela Hewitt? Ben Heppner? Canadian Brass? jacksoul?), which sort of makes me wonder what I'm missing out on. Crash course time! Others I'm not terribly familiar with -- or in love with -- outside of a few singles or their glowing industry reps (Crash Test Dummies, Steppenwolf, Diana [...]

It's easy to characterise Michael Buble as a dull, dull man. But surely that can't be true, can it? He has crazy times on tour, right? Ice hockey enthusiast Michael Buble takes his obsession on tour with him by asking for a local team's puck in every venue he plays. God. He's even duller than he appears at first. -- Visit No Rock & Roll Fun to comment, complain and kvetch

The 2012 Juno Awards, Canada's version of The Grammys, took place last night, and Feist was the big winner of the evening, taking home the award for Artist Of The Year and Adult Alternative Album Of The Year for Metals . Holiday crooner Michael Buble's Christmas was awarded Album Of The Year, and Drake nabbed Rap Recording Of The Year for Take Care. As Canada is Justin Bieber's home turf, it was only natural that the "Boyfriend" singer walk away with Juno Fan Choice. (Since he was busy [...]

Over the weekend, the Canandian music award show the Junos announced this year's batch of winners sprung forth by this year's nominees (which included a lot of Christmas albums). Lots of familiar faces - the Biebs, Leslie Feist - but a couple of new looks also like the Arts & Crafts-signed singer-songwriter Dan Mangan. Pictured is Dance Recording Of The Year winners Dragonette doing something with their awards. Anyway, check out the notable winners and the full list down below. Read More...

Filed under: News , Exclusive , Awards , Junos Getty I CP I Getty The Juno Awards have made great strides in credibility in recent years, but that may have culminated in last year's Drake -hosted crowning of Arcade Fire . The 2012 Junos took a great big step backwards -- and a curiously unnecessary one -- by overlooking Drake's critical and commercial [...]

"It was the Junos two years ago or last year, I can't remember which because it was just so traumatizing."

Filed under: News , Exclusive , Awards , Junos Josh Ostroff for AOL Deadmau5 is no newcomer to the Juno Awards , having taken home gold in every year that he's been nominated at the Canadian equivalent to the Grammys. But this year his giant mousehead didn't just pop up in the dance category, but also in several major slots. It's not a bad way to [...]

Nick Jonas has clearly become a welcome part of the Broadway community, as the How To Succeed actor has scored a guest appearance on next week's episode of Smash . Jonas will play Lyle West, a TV star who got his start as a child actor on Broadway. (Hmm, sound familiar?) Jump below to watch Nick meet the show-within-a-show's Marilyn Monroe, Megan Hilty (at least until the inevitable switcheroo and the role goes to Katharine McPhee), as well as perform Michael Buble's "Haven't Met You Yet."

This year's Juno Awards take place in Ottawa on 4/1, and today the nominees for their annual prizes were revealed. A lot of familiar names - Drake, Feist, Avril Lavigne - headline the nominees. Something tells me the Black Keys won't be happy with a selection or two. Two Christmas albums made the "Best Album" list, so either it was a bad year for Canadian albums or the best year for Christmas albums ever! Shatner hosts, obviously. Scan the nominees below.

The shortlist for the Juno awards has been revealed . The fan's choice category looks more like a 'can you think of a Canadian act' round in Pointless. I'm surprised Rush aren't on there: JUNO FAN CHOICE AWARD Arcade Fire Avril Lavigne City and Colour Deadmau5 Drake Ginette Reno Hedley Justin Bieber Michael Bublé Nickelback SINGLE OF THE [...]

Tréson has crafted his own rendition of Billy Vera's 1981 classic, "At This Moment". Treson's joins world renowed and acclaimed musicians such as Tom Jones and most recently Michael Buble 's to cover this classic. Transformed into a roots reggae lover's rock tune, the single still manages to retain the impressive raw emotional appeal that Vera first sang it with.

No one should really be surprised that Adele ruled both single and album sales in 2011. Her sophomore album 21 is currently #1 on Billboard 's Top 200 for a 14th non-consecutive week, and, when all was said and done, it sold 5.82 million copies last year — the most any album has sold since 2004, when Usher's Confessions moved 7.98 million copies. Likewise, "Rolling In The Deep" capped off '11 at 5.81 million, marking the first time a single has topped 5 million paid downloads in a year. [...]

Adele After a few weeks away, Adele is returning to the top of the main albums chart. 21 , Adele's blockbuster latest album, moves from No. 2 to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart after selling 144,000 copies according to Nielsen SoundScan as reported by Billboard.com. It's the set's 14th non-consecutive week at the top spot since its release nearly a year ago. Unsurprisingly, Michael Buble 's holiday set does a nosedive as the holiday passes. Christmas , which has spent the last few [...]

Ahead of this year's Grammys , at which Tony Bennett's Duets II will be competing for the Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album award, the legendary crooner's PBS Thirteen's Great Performances special will air on January 27. And, naturally, he'll have some famous faces along for the ride. Those performing with Bennett on the special (which airs at 9 p.m.) include Carrie Underwood, Michael Buble, Queen Latifah, Willie Nelson, John Mayer, Faith Hill and Justin Bieber enthusiast k.d. lang. So far there's no word on whether Lady Gaga will [...]

Prevedibile la prima posizione ancora di Michael Bublè che con "Christmas" monopolizza il mercato discografico natalizio. Secondo posto per Adele con "213 e al terzo posto Young Jeezy con "TM:103: Hustlerz Ambition". Justin Bieber con " Under the mistletoe " si ritrova alla quarta posizione e Drake con "Take care" sale al quinto gradino. Sospiro di sollievo per Rihanna che dal 14esimo posto della scorsa settimana rientra comodamente in top ten, alla numero 7. Scendono dalla 9 alla 4 i The Black Keys con El Camino. Grande balzo per [...]

I regali musicali "last minute" degli italiani per Natale 2011 smuovono poco o nulla la classifica album FIMI/GfK . Le prime 6 posizioni della Top-10 sono infatti le stesse della settimana scorsa , e anche più in basso gli spostamenti sono minimi. Di new entries di rilievo poi...manco a parlarne! E così, aspettando momenti migliori, non resta che aggrapparci a quel poco che ci si offre: rientrano i Coldplay alla #10 con Mylo Xyloto , a scapito di Bocelli (#12) e della Winehouse (#11). I Modà ancora reggono alla [...]

Last-minute shoppers gave Adele's 21 one last kick in the pants on the charts ending Christmas Day, which saw the Grammy-nominee's best sales week ever in the 45th week of release. (The disc was stuffed into 399,000 stockings.) That brings 21 up to 5.68 million copies sold, far and away 2011's highest seller (unless Michael Buble miraculously manages to sell over 3 million copies of his holiday LP post-Christmas — highly unlikely). But the SNL performer did manage to claim the charts' top slot for the fifth week running, [...]
