The remarkable and internationally beloved artist has sold over 55 million albums worldwide, and did so while effortlessly moving between pop, country, and adult contemporary formats with a distinctive sound. She has been honoured with four Grammy Awards, a record-breaking 24 JUNO Awards, three American Music Awards, three Country Music Association Awards, and three Canadian Country Music Association Awards.

A Companion of the Order of Canada, the highest honour that can be awarded to a Canadian civilian, Murray is also an inductee of the JUNO Hall of Fame, the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame, The Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame, and Canadian Broadcast Hall of Fame.
