Following their surprise win at the Grammy Awards in February, Montreal-based band Arcade Fire continued their winning streak, taking home four Juno Awards during last night’s ceremony (March 27), reports Chartattack.

The band won best album and best alternative album of the year for their 2010 recording, The Suburbs. They were also named group of the year and songwriter of the year, making them the biggest winners of the night.

In a surprise sweep, music legend Neil Young, who was attending the ceremony to receive the Allan Waters Humanitarian Award, was named artist of the year and won the award for adult alternative album of the year, giving him the second highest number of trophies of the night.

"What year is this?" Young joked as he took the stage. "I am totally surprised."

Pop star Justin Bieber picked up two awards, including pop album of the year and the fan choice award, the only award selected by fans. Unable to attend the ceremony, Bieber appeared by video to thank his mother and his fans.

Other winners from last night’s ceremony include Said The Whale, Young Artists for Haiti, Matthew Good, and francophone artist Karkwa. Juno host, rapper Drake, did not win a single award.
