MMVA Predictions - The Yahoo! Audience Has Spoken

Posted Thu Jun 18, 2009 3:18pm PDT by Yahoo! Music Canada in Sound Check

Some of you will remember that, leading up to the Juno Awards, we looked at the top music search results on Yahoo! Canada and weighed them against 10 Juno categories to predict the outcome. Much to our surprise, this highly unscientific method correctly picked the winners from six of those categories, including Video of the Year, Album of the Year and Group of the Year.

We've applied this methodology again for the MMVAs. If Yahoo! Canada users were choosing the winners, here's who would walk away with the hardware based on search results. Winners in bold:
