Not being particularly gifted in divination, music, or knowledge of popular culture, I can claim no credit for these predictions. They all come courtesy of my very own Canadian musician. His past successful conjectures include predicting the win of Carrie Underwood on American Idol, and that I'm guaranteed to fall asleep before midnight on a Sunday.
So, without further delay, here are his picks for 2013 Juno Wins :
Juno Fan Choice Award : Metric
Single of the Year : Carly Rae Jepsen - Call Me Maybe
International Album of the Year : Mumford & Sons - Babel
Album of the Year : Justin Bieber - Believe
Artist of the Year : Justin Bieber
Group of the Year : Metric
Breakthrough Artist of the Year : The Weeknd
Songwriter of the Year : Afie Jurvanen
Alternative Album of the Year : Metric - Synthetica
Pop Album of the Year : Justin Bieber - Believe
Rock Album of the Year : The Tragically Hip - Now for Plan A
These predictions are based primarily on who he thinks was the most popular in the past year. Who got the most radio plays? Who sold the most albums and booked the most concerts? Who is guaranteed to fill an arena with screaming, adoring fans? Whose success took the largest leap forward in 2012?
We'll have to wait until Sunday night to find out if mass popularity and sales records are what Canadian musicians need to win that shiny statuette.
The 2013 Juno Award Ceremony, hosted by Michael Buble, will feature performances by Metric, Billy Talent, Carly Rae Jepsen, Hannah Georgas, k.d. lang, Mariannas Trench, Serena Ryder, The Sheepdogs, and Buble himself.
The ceremony will be aired live from the Brandt Centre in Regina on Sunday April 21st at 8pm EST.
