'Can't Feel My Face' earned The Weeknd Single Of The Year in the 2016 JUNO Awards. Chilly offers an explanation for the infectious rhythm in the melody by saying, "We all know that The Weeknd loves Michael Jackson and perhaps he got the syncopated influence from Thriller"
Corey Hart won Single Of The Year for 'Never Surrender' in 1985. Chilly Gonzales explains that "The human ear associates a falling melody with submissiveness" So what gives this song its defiant strength? Find out.
Alanis Morissette burst on the scene with 'Jagged Little Pill' and shook up the music world. Her magic says Chilly is, "that strange yodel, that weird break in her voice that makes the vocal performance so raw and so real."
In 2005 , 'Crabbuckit' was on every radio. And Gonzales points out that it uses, "a chord progression associated with some of the saddest songs in the world."
In this podcast, Chilly asks, "How is it possible that it still seems like music to us when it's someone counting to four in monotone?" The secret is in the bass.
Shawn Mendes won Single Of The Year in 2018, and Gonzales notes the EDM sound but Mendes also has, "the feeling of hearing a person, a true singer-songwriter."

Do Canadians like music as much as they like hockey? This was the question in 1975, when the JUNO Awards first went to air for its first televised broadcast. No one knew.
