Shawn Mendes, Charlotte Cardin Honored at 2022 Juno Awards: Full Winners List
Shawn Mendes and Charlotte Cardin took key honors at the 2022 Juno Awards, which were held at Toronto’s Budweiser Stage on Sunday, May 15.
Mendes won the Tik Tok Juno fan choice award and also received an international achievement award. This brings his collection of Juno Awards to 13. Mendes won single of the year three years running from 2018-20 with “There’s Nothing Holdin’ Me Back,” “In My Blood” and “Señorita,” a collab with then-girlfriend Camila Cabello. Only Justin Bieber has won the fan choice award as many or more times. The Bieb has won that fan-voted award five times.

Cardin took album of the year for her debut, Phoenix, which spent two weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart. It’s the first debut album to win in this marquee category since Billy Talent’s Billy Talent in 2005. It’s just the third debut album by a female artist to win in this category in the history of the Juno Awards. The first two were Alannah Myles’ Alannah Myles (1990) and Avril Lavigne’s Let Go (2003).
Cardin won three awards — artist of the year, single of the year for “Meaningless” and pop album of the year for Phoenix — on May 14 at the Juno Awards’ “Opening Night Awards,” where the bulk of the awards were presented. (It’s similar to the Grammys’ Premiere Ceremony, at which the bulk of their awards are presented.)
Arkells won group of the year for the fifth time, which puts the band in a tie with Blue Rodeo for the most wins in the history of the category.
Haviah Mighty’s Stock Exchange was the first winner of rap album/EP of the year. The Junos introduced an award for rap recording of the year in 1991, but this year it was split into two categories — rap album/EP of the year and rap single of the year.
Deborah Cox was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame. Cox, best known for her 1998 R&B smash “Nobody’s Supposed to Be Here,” is the first Black female artist to receive that honor.
Cardin, Arkells, Haviah Mighty and Cox all performed on the show, as did Arcade Fire, Lavigne, bbno$, DJ Shub & Snotty Nose Rez Kids, Lauren Spencer-Smith, Mustafa and Tesher. Mendes also made a special appearance to collect his prizes.
Simu Liu, star of the box-office smash Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, hosted the show, which was the first in-person Juno Awards since 2019. It also marked the first time the Junos have been held at an outdoor venue.
Bieber, who went 0-8 at the Grammys last month, went 0-5 at the Junos. Pressa, a rapper and singer from Toronto, also went home empty-handed from the Junos, going 0-4. With any luck, there will be other nights for both of these artists.
Here’s the full list of winners from the Opening Night Awards.
