Today’s Nomination Comes for Eagleson’s Record-Setting
Self-Titled Album, The Most Globally Streamed Debut By a Canadian-Signed Country Artist of All Time
Continuing to build on his record-setting success, today Canada’s breakout singer/songwriter Jade Eagleson secured a career-first JUNO nomination, landing a spot on the coveted Country Album of The Year list.
“I still have vivid memories of watching the JUNOs as a kid and seeing so many incredible Canadians recognized for their accomplishments. It’s wild to think I find myself in their company today,” said Eagleson when learning of today’s news. “A JUNO is a shared goal for all Canadian artists and one I was always hopeful I’d get a chance to achieve. I am so thankful for the incredible team, Industry, and fans that have helped me get to where I am today. To my friends and family, thank you for encouraging me to leave the farm behind and chase this crazy dream.”
Eagleson’s current single, “All Night To Figure it Out,” which was released in February and claimed the spot as most added at radio across all genres for release week, followed-up the Ontario-native’s record-setting self-titled debut album, which was the most-streamed debut album for a Canadian-signed country artist in history. It featured three GOLD-certified singles “Got Your Name On It”, “Count The Ways” and “Close,” as well as “Lucky,” Eagleson’s first #1 at Canadian Country Radio. Landing Eagleson on YouTube’s ‘Trending Artist On The Rise’ list, the video for “Got Your Name On It” also appeared on the website’s homepage. Now boasting 15x more views than any other Canadian country music video released since it dropped on YouTube 3 years ago (47M+ views), Eagleson’s position on this list was the first time a Canadian-signed artist in any genre received this accolade and definitely paved the way for him to become one of Canada’s most-streamed artists.
With 130+ Million global streams and counting after the release of only four singles, a Canadian record in itself, today’s nomination continues to prove Eagleson is the artist to look out for in 2021.
