1991· Juno Awards ·1993

Nominations were announced on 12 February 1992.Bryan Adamswas nominated in 7 categories setting a Juno record, whileTom Cochranereceived nominations in 6.

Adams sparked controversy in the Canadian music industry several months earlier when he openly criticisedCanadian contentregulations when his album project,Waking Up the Neighbours,was disqualified as Canadian for radio airplay purposes. That album was created largely with the help of non-Canadian producerRobert John "Mutt" Lange,therefore the songs fell below the legal Canadian content threshold. However, Adams qualified for the 1992 Juno nominations as an individual Canadian citizen. The 1992 Juno Awards thus became viewed as a showdown between Adams and Tom Cochrane, as the latter met Canadian content requirements.

When all the 1992 Juno Awards were presented, Tom Cochrane was the major winner with 4 Junos, compared to 3 for Adams. 1992's awards also featured an unprecedented three-way tie for winners in the Best Jazz Album category.
