History

Terence Cao, Chew Chor Meng, Li Nanxing, Sean Say, and Desmond Sim were the five male recipients of the inaugural 10 Most Popular Artistes award.[1] The winners were determined by a majority vote from the public via telephone and SMS text voting.

In 1994 and 1995, the Most Popular Actor award was also awarded to the male artiste who topped the votes. Li[1] and Chen Hanwei were the recipients of this award in 1994 and 1995 respectively. [2]

Since 1997, the number of recipients for each category was expanded to ten and the award was renamed as Top 10 Most Popular Male Artistes.[2]

In 2004, the All-Time Favourite Artiste was introduced. Artistes who had received ten prior Star Awards for Top 10 Most Popular Male / Female Artistes were automatically conferred the title, and were removed from the nomination pool permanently. A total of 17 male artistes have since achieved this status and are no longer eligible to be nominated.[3]

In 2023, the Most Popular Rising Stars award was introduced for artistes who have been in the entertainment industry for five years or less. A win in this category will also count towards the overall Top 10 tally.

Eligibility

Initially, only full-time Mediacorp actors were eligible to be nominated. In 1997, a rule change allowed artistes from the variety sector to contest for the award.

In 2018, the rules were changed again to allow contracted, project-based and/or non-Mediacorp artistes to be nominated.[4]

Recipients

Since its inception, the award saw a total of 176 male artistes being nominated, of which 59 artistes had won at least one award, and 17 artistes had been conferred the All-Time Favourite Artiste. Shaun Chen, Marcus Chin, Jeff Goh, Guo Liang, Richie Koh, Ayden Sng, Benjamin Tan, Desmond Tan, Nick Teo and Xu Bin are the most recent winners in the Top 10 Most Popular Male Artistes category.

Tyler Ten and Zhang Zetong are the most recent winners in the Most Popular Rising Stars category.
