However, he faces strong competition from Justin Bieber, who had the top-selling album and most streamed song in Canada in 2015, and Drake, who has the most fans in Canadian households according to Nielsen data.

    EARNED IT: WILL THE WEEKND WIN BIG


    AT THE JUNO AWARDS?
    With Canadian artists dominating the U.S. charts, the JUNO Awards, Canadas most
    important night in music, will have more than enough talent to keep the competition
    lively.
    Nielsen music data shows that five homegrown artistsJustin Bieber, The Weeknd,
    Drake, Yoan, and Jean Leloupall had albums among the 10 best-sellers in Canada in
    2015; this is the highest share of local talent since 2006. These musicians, as well as
    teen favorite and Canadian Shawn Mendes, also did well on charts around the world,
    and a strong case can be made for each coming away a big winner from the show on
    April 3.
    So who has the inside track to take home the evenings top trophies? Based on
    nominations, The Weeknd has certainly earned it. The R&B phenomenon has the most
    nods in the major categories (six), including Fan Choice, Single of the Year and Album
    of the Year.
    Data from the Nielsen 2015 Canada Music Year-End Report shows The Weeknd had
    four of the top 10 most streamed songs performed by a Canadian artist; he also had
    the top two digital songs in 2015 by Canadian artist (Cant Feel My Face and The
    Hills).
    This success maps to larger Canadian music consumption trends, Nielsen data shows.
    R&B and rap had a big 2015, posting the largest sales increases of any genres
    compared with 2014 (rap was up 23%; R&B was up 9%). Moreover, in the second half
    of 2015 on-demand digital streaming in Canada jumped by 114% compared with the
    second half of 2014. According to previous Nielsen research, young Canadians are
    driving the digital shift, with these young consumers spending twice as much time
    streaming music as the general Canadian population.
    While The Weeknd clearly tapped into the spirit of the times and had a breakout year in
    2015, he still faces stiff competition at the JUNO Awards from fellow nominees who
    also had an impressive year.

    Justin Bieber had the top selling album in 2015 of any Canadian artist and came in
    second overall to Adele. In fact, Justin Bieber has sold 1.57 million albums release-todate in Canada. The Biebs also had the most streamed song of 2015What Do You
    Mean? and its nominated for Single of the Yearand he is the most streamed JUNOnominated artist, with 242 million streams release-to-date.

    Finally, dont forget about Drake. Data from Nielsens Homescan Panel shows that the
    pride of Toronto has more fans in Canadian households than any other Album of the
    Year nominee.
