The Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance has been awarded since 1966. 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

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.
