This year the Juno’s will be honouring legendary artist Anne Murray – the most JUNO-awarded artist in history – with the Lifetime Achievement Award presented by the National Arts Center.

Anne Murray was the first Canadian female solo singer to reach No. 1 on the U.S. charts, was the first to earn a Gold record for one of her signature songs, “Snowbird” (1970) and was the first woman to win “Album of the Year” at the Country Music Awards in Nashville for her certified Gold album, “A Little Good News”.   She led the way for a generation of young Canadian women who have also conquered the world stage — Céline Dion, Shania Twain, kd lang, Alanis Morissette and Sarah McLachlan, who all followed in her footsteps.

During her illustrious career, Murray received four Grammys, a record-breaking 25 JUNOs (she holds the record for the most awarded artist in JUNOs history), three American Music Awards, three Country Music Association Awards, and three Canadian Country Music Association Awards. She is a Companion of the Order of Canada, the highest honour that can be awarded to a Canadian civilian and in 2007 Canada Post issued a limited-edition Anne Murray Stamp. She has been inducted into the Juno Hall of Fame, the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame, The Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame, and Canadian Broadcast Hall of Fame, and the Howie Richmond Hitmaker Award from the American Songwriters Hall of Fame. Murray has a star on Canada’s Walk of Fame, the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and Nashville’s Walkway of Stars.

In 2011, Billboard ranked her 10th on their list of the 50 Biggest Adult Contemporary Artists Ever.

Sum 41 will be inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, with their performance at the JUNO Awards ceremony expected to be their final live appearance following their farewell tour.
