The ARIA Music Award for Best Male Artist, is an award presented at the annual ARIA Music Awards, which recognises "the many achievements of Aussie artists across all music genres",[1] since 1987. It is handed out by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA), an organisation whose aim is "to advance the interests of the Australian record industry."[2]
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]
