The Juno Awards are reversing course on their plan to shelve three awards after strong blowback from the music community.

Junos head Allan Reid posted a message on Instagram Tuesday saying that 香蕉视频直播済iven the feedback,香蕉视频直播� the organization has decided to reinstate the categories for the 2025 show.

He said the children香蕉视频直播檚 album, reggae recording and Christian/gospel album of the year categories will be part of the honours handed out next year.

The Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, which oversees Canada香蕉视频直播檚 biggest music awards show, has been undergoing a review of the ceremony and its categories over the past year with the intent of freshening it up for a modern audience.

Reid said the leadership had been 香蕉视频直播渢aking into consideration data such as consumption, number of submissions, and other metrics香蕉视频直播� when determining the future of some categories.

However, he added, 香蕉视频直播済iven the feedback from the community, CARAS will not put these three categories on hiatus this year.香蕉视频直播�

Earlier this month, The Canadian Press obtained a letter Juno organizers sent to committee members of the affected categories, notifying them of plans to put their awards on 香蕉视频直播渉iatus.香蕉视频直播�

The decision led to a swift negative reaction from musicians and others in the music scene who called on the Junos to reconsider the decision.

Instead, Junos organizers declined requests to explain the changes, saying they would have 香蕉视频直播渁dditional information to share in the next couple of weeks.香蕉视频直播�

That lack of acknowledgment frustrated some in the music industry who noted the organization left them in limbo weeks before submissions open for the 2025 awards.

Reid香蕉视频直播檚 statement offered more clarity, saying that CARAS will outline all of the Junos changes on Monday with details on the 香蕉视频直播渄irection and vision for the awards now and into the future.香蕉视频直播�

His post did not mention the fate of the international album of the year award, a fourth category that was also set to go on 香蕉视频直播渉iatus香蕉视频直播� next year.

The 54th Juno Awards ceremony will be held at Vancouver香蕉视频直播檚 Rogers Arena on March 30, 2025.
