A record’s a record and Shawn Mendes set a truly historic record at the 49th annual Juno Awards, which was held virtually Monday (June 29).

Mendes became the first artist in Juno Awards history to win single of the year three years running.

Mendes also became just the second artist to win artist of the year two years running.

Alessia Cara, who was originally set to be the show's host before the coronavirus-forced cancellation, won three awards—album of the year and pop album of the year for her sophomore album, The Pains of Growing, and songwriter of the year.

She’s the first woman to take album of the year since Carly Rae Jepsen won in that category seven years ago for Kiss.

Cara is the first woman to win songwriter of the year since Serena Ryder took the prize six years ago.

Torey Lanez became the first artist in Juno Awards history to win rap recording of the year (“Freaky”) and R&B/soul recording of the year (“Feel It Too,” a collab with Jessie Reyez and Tainy).

It also took that award at the Brit Awards in the U.K.

Bryan Adams took adult contemporary album of the year for Shine a Light.

Lennon Stella took the award for breakthrough artist of the year.

(Neon Dreams had won the Allan Slaight JUNO Master Class award in 2017. They are the first act to graduate from that award to a competitive Juno.).

Loud Luxury took the award for group of the year.

Last year, they won the award for dance recording of the year.

They noted that, though the Junos got underway in 1970, it took 15 years before they added soul and reggae categories.
