Album

As in 2006, a compilation album was released to promote the nominees. The album did not, however, include a track by Arcade Fire — although media initially reported that the Polaris committee had snubbed the band by excluding them, the committee and the band issued a joint press release confirming that the band "chose" not to have a track included on the album as they prefer not to participate in compilation albums.
