Canada is well represented on the list of nominees for the 2021 People’s Choice Awards, which was unveiled on Wednesday.

“Peaches,” Bieber’s hit featuring Canada’s Daniel Caesar (as well as Giveon) is up for Song of 2021, as is Bieber’s collab with The Kid LAROI, “Stay.” (Both tracks are also up for Collaboration Song and Music Video.)
Drake and The Weeknd are also up for Collaboration Song thanks to “Way 2 Sexy” ft. Future & Young Thug and “You Right” by Doja Cat respectively. Drake's Certified Lover Boy is vying for Album of 2021.
Another Canadian on the list of nominations is Tate McRae, who’s up for New Artist.
