TheGrammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album is an honor presented at theGrammy Awards, a ceremony that was established in 1958 and originally called the Gramophone Awards,[1] to recording artists for quality vocalpop music albums. Awards in several categories are distributed annually by theNational Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences of the United States to "honor artistic achievement, technical proficiency and overall excellence in the recording industry, without regard to album sales or chart position."[2]
The honor was first presented in 1968 at the10th Grammy Awards asBest Contemporary Album toThe Beatles forSgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. The category was then discontinued until 1995 where it emerged with the new nameBest Pop Album. In 2001, the category became known asBest Pop Vocal Album. According to the category description guide for the52nd Grammy Awards, the award is presented to artists that perform "albums containing at least 51% playing time of newly recorded pop vocal tracks."[3]
Until 2000, the award was given to the performing artist. Since 2001, the Grammy has also been awarded to the producer and engineer/mixer, provided they worked on more than 50% of playing time on the album. A producer or engineer/mixer who worked onless than 50% of playing time, as well as other personnel (e.g. the mastering engineer) do not win an award, but can apply for a Winners Certificate.[4]
Adele,Kelly Clarkson andTaylor Swift are the only two-time winners of this award, and Clarkson was the first to win twice. Clarkson, Swift, andAriana Grande lead all performers with six nominations.
