In even more award news, Canada's 41st annual Juno Awards honored Michael Buble's "Christmas" with Album of the Year and Adele's "21" with "International Album of the Year."
Speaking of Adele, the six-time Grammy winner told French radio network NRJ that she expects to have a new song out at the end of the year.
While we anxiously await new work from the star, fans are still enjoying her award-winning "21" as it sits at number 3 on the Billboard 200.
Topping that chart is a battle of two 80's icons, Madonna and Lionel Ritchie. Madge's "MDNA" came out on top and snagged the number one spot while Ritchie's "Tuskegee" takes number two.
