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 含羞草研究社済iven the feedback,含羞草研究社� the organization has decided to reinstate the categories for the 2025 show.

He said the children含羞草研究社檚 album, reggae recording and Christian/gospel album of the year categories will be part of the honours handed out next year.
