Canada is well represented on the list of nominees for the 2021 People’s Choice Awards, which was unveiled on Wednesday.
Justin Bieber leads the way with 10 nominations in music and pop culture categories, including Male Artist, Album and Social Star.
In the running for Male Artist along with Bieber are his fellow Canadians Drake, Shawn Mendes and The Weeknd – as well as Bad Bunny, Ed Sheeran, Lil Nas X and Luke Combs.
“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.
Several music stars earned noms in the Pop Culture, TV and Movie categories. Britney Spears and Lil Nas X are up for Social Star; Queen Latifah and Mandy Moore are vying for Female Star and Female Drama Star (for The Equalizer and This Is Us respectively); Selena Gomez has a Comedy TV Star nomination for Only Murders in the Building; and Kelly Clarkson’s eponymous show is in the Daytime Talk Show category.
