The honor was first presented in 1968 at the 10th Grammy Awards as Best Contemporary Album to The Beatles for Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. The category was then discontinued until 1995 where it was created with the new name Best Pop Album. In 2001, the category became known as Best Pop Vocal Album. The award is presented to artists that perform "albums containing at least 51% playing time of newly recorded pop vocal tracks."[3]
The award goes to the artist, producer and engineer/mixer, provided they worked on more than 50% of playing time on the album.[4]
