Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance
The Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance was awarded between 1966 and 2011 (the final year it was awarded for records issued in 2010). The award had several minor name changes:
- In 1966 the award was known as Best Contemporary (R&R) Vocal Performance - Male
- In 1967 the award was combined with the equivalent award for women as the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary (R&R) Solo Vocal Performance – Male or Female
- In 1968 it was awarded as Best Contemporary Male Solo Vocal Performance
- In 1969 it was awarded as Best Contemporary-Pop Vocal Performance, Male
- From 1970 to 1971 it was awarded as Best Contemporary Vocal Performance, Male
- From 1972 to 1994 it was awarded as Best Pop Vocal Performance, Male
- Since 1995 it has been awarded as Best Male Pop Vocal Performance
The award was discontinued from 2012 in a major overhaul of Grammy categories. From 2012, all solo performances in the pop category (male, female, instrumentalist) were shifted to the newly formed Best Pop Solo Performance category.
A similar award for Best Vocal Performance, Male was awarded from 1959 to 1968. This was also in the pop field, but did not specify pop music.
Years reflect the year in which the Grammy Awards were presented, for works released in the previous year.
John Mayer, Sting and Stevie Wonder are the biggest winners in this category with 4 wins.
