While music's biggest night may have happened last weekend, there's still much to look forward to with Canada's own biggest night in music. The nominees for this year's JUNO Awards have arrived ahead of the ceremony on March 24 in Halifax.

Leading this year's nominees is Charlotte Cardin with a whopping six nominations, including Artist of the Year, Album of the Year and Pop Album of the Year.

Closely behind Cardin are Daniel Caesar and TALK with five noms each. Allison Russell, Aysanabee and Tate McRae have each garnered three nominations of their own.

Arkells maintain their chokehold in the Group of the Year category, where they're up against the Beaches, Nickelback, Loud Luxury and Walk Off the Earth.
