The song is in the CHR (contemporary hit category) and will go up against Deadmau5's 'Sofi Needs A Ladder' in the Dance/Urban/Rhythmic category. 'Hello' is also up for SOCAN Song of the Year alongside Simple Plan's 'Jet Lag' and Fefe Dobson's 'Stuttering' among others. "'HELLO' IS NOW OFFICIALLY PLATINUM IN THE U.S.," the group tweeted on Jan. 4. "Hellaplatinum! Hooray to the US and our 1million favorite Americans!"
Other notable nominees include Saskatchewan rock band the Sheepdogs for 'I Don't Know' and USS for 'N/A OK' which are in the Rock category. Both the Sheepdogs and Dragonette will perform during the awards ceremony.
The awards – aside from the CRMA Fans' Choice Award, the FACTOR Breakthrough Award and Chart Topper Award – are voted on by radio program directors, music directors and on-air personalities. The nominees are artists who have hit the charts and also achieved "top airplay" in different formats based on radio "spins."
Also with five nominations is Alyssa Reid for her song 'Alone Again.'
