The vagaries of the system produced a few apparently anomalous results. Foreign nominees for Canada's national music awards this year are U2, Limp Bizkit, Backstreet Boys, Shaggy and Destiny's Child. Two more awards for best-selling albums are handed out strictly on the basis of action at the cash-register. The award for best single, however, is determined entirely by CARAS balloting. Other categories, including those for jazz, classical, roots, country and reggae music, are handled entirely or partially by panel voters, irrespective of sales, with or without a vote by CARAS members.
Nominees for best new solo artist and new group categories were chosen through a combination of sales and panel voting, with the winners again to be selected by CARAS members. Nominations for the most prominent awards - best album, artist, group and instrumental album - were determined by sales, with the final vote to be taken from CARAS members.

Punk-pop band Sum 41, pop all-rounder Hawksley Workman and jazz diva Diana Krall were all named for three possible awards.
