The award is given to an Australian male artist who has had a single or an album appear in the ARIA Top 100 Singles Chart between the eligibility period, and is voted for by a judging academy, which comprises 1000 members from different areas of the music industry.[3]
The award for Best Male Artist was first presented to John Farnham in 1987.[4] Farnham, Diesel, Alex Lloyd and Gotye and Paul Kelly hold the record for the most wins, with three each, followed by Jimmy Barnes, Flume and Nick Cave with two.[4]
