The ARIA Music Award for Best International Artist, is an award presented at the annual ARIA Music Awards, which recognises the public performance of international artists in Australia. It was first handed in the 2010 ceremony under the name Most Popular International Artist.
The nominee pool for Best International Artist will be drawn from the ten highest selling artists, based on aggregated ARIA album and related single sales statistics for the charts published between the eligibility period.[1]
One Direction and Taylor Swift are tied for the most wins with five each, though former One Direction member Harry Styles has also won three times as a solo artist, bringing his total to eight. All of One Direction's wins, which occurred from 2012 to 2016, were consecutive, followed by Styles' first solo win in 2017; Swift also had three consecutive wins from 2023 to 2025. Styles has won all of his nominations both with One Direction and solo. Swift also has the most nominations with 12, while Ed Sheeran has the most nominations without a win with nine.
