Grammy Award for Best Latin Pop Album
The Grammy Award for Best Latin Pop Album , in German "Grammy Award for the Best Latin Pop Album", is a music prize that has been awarded by the American Recording Academy in the field of Latin American music since 1989 .
History and background
Since 1959, the Grammy Awards are presented annually in a variety of categories by the Recording Academy in the United States to recognize artistic achievement, technical competence, and overall excellence regardless of album sales or chart position.
One of these categories is the Grammy Award for Best Latin Pop Album. Since it was first presented, this award has undergone minor name changes: from 1984 to 1991 and 1995 to 2000 the award was called the Grammy Award for Best Latin Pop Performance, and from 1992 to 1994 and 2001 until today the Grammy Award for Best Latin Pop Album . In 2012, the award was not awarded due to a major overhaul of the Grammy categories. This year recordings in this category were awarded in the new category Grammy Award for Best Latin Rock, Urban or Alternative Album . That same year, however, the Recording Academy's Board of Trustees announced that it would reassign the category at the 55th Grammy Awards in 2013 . From 1984 to 1991 single tracks or albums were allowed in this category and from 1992 only albums.
The Puerto Rican singer José Feliciano was the first to receive an award in the category for his album Me enamoré in 1984 and is the most frequent winner to date with four awards. The most frequently nominated artist is the Mexican singer Luis Miguel with twelve nominations that resulted in three wins.
