Presenting the first-ever Global Rising Star Award to @juliawolf, Billboard Canada National Editor @richtraps explains why she is the perfect artist to win the honour for the first time. An exciting new voice with a growing global audience and a recent collaboration with Drake, Wolf is not confined to one sound or one fanbase — “as comfortable playing Warped Tour as she is OVO Fest.”

En présentant le tout premier Prix étoile montante à @juliawolf lors de Billboard Canada Women in Music, le rédacteur en chef national @richtraps a souligné que Wolf incarne « tout ce que ce prix représente », transformant ses pensées intimes en hymnes puissants et étant aussi à l’aise de se produire au Warped Tour qu’à l’OVO Fest.

Had the pleasure of introducing @thebeachesband and @alexandraporat to present the Billboard Canada Manager of the Year award to the one and only @laurieleeboutet.

Barry Keoghan was too boring of a costume, so we’re Post Malone and Sabrina Carpenter.

Bonus shots with Chappell Roan, Orville Peck and Dave Grohl.

This was wild. @shaboozey invited us @billboardca onstage tonight to present him with his plaque for his 15 weeks on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100 for “A Bar Song (Tipsy)”. Then he played it three times, and each was better than the last.

Big day at @billboardca! Today, we launched the first ever Canadian digital cover of @billboard, putting the spotlight on Punjabi-Canadian artists. Each one also stars on their own cover. This was a big undertaking, but I’m so proud of how it turned out. Head over to ca.billboard.com for the story and all the interviews.
