Note
  1. Certain award groups do not simply award one winner. They recognize several different recipients, have runners-up and have third place. Since this is a specific recognition and is different from losing an award, runner-up mentions are considered wins in this award tally. For simplification and to avoid errors, each award in this list has been presumed to have had a prior nomination.

Two of the band's albums have reached the top 10 on the Canadian Albums Chart: Billy Talent peaked at number six and Billy Talent II peaked at number one.[3] Billy Talent has received a significant amount of recognition in Canada, winning eleven awards from 34 nominations at the MuchMusic Video Awards and seven awards from twenty-two nominations at the Juno Awards. The band was also nominated at the MuchMusic Video Awards every year from 2004 to 2011. Overall, Billy Talent has received twenty-six awards from 64 nominations.
