The Weeknd and Alessia Cara made a splash today (May 6) at the 19th annual Canadian Radio Music Awards (CRMAs) in Toronto.
The Toronto native earned SOCAN Song of the Year honors for "Can't Feel My Face," as well as the Fans Choice Award, beating out stiff competition from the likes of Justin Bieberand Shawn Mendes. Alessia Cara also took home the award for Best New Artist: CHR.
CRMA nominees recognize up-and-comers who charted in Canada for the first time, as well as established artists who earned top airplay in different formats, as recorded by Nielsen Broadcast Data Systems (BDS) in 2015.
Held at the Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel in conjunction with Canadian Music Week, the annual awards show and industry luncheon featured performances from The Strumbellas and nominees Coleman Hell, Ria Mae, Cold Creek County, Scott Helman, and Jocelyn Alice.
In the non-voting award categories, Leah Daniels won The FACTOR Breakthrough Award for top airplay for new eligible artists, Mendes earned the Sennheiser Chart Topper Award for hit single "Stitches," and The Strumbellas took home the Heatseeker award.
