About this record

Best Dance Pop Recording was first awarded in 2024, so it does not run the full 1959–2025 window.

It was previously known as Best Pop Dance Recording.

That was its name at the 2024 ceremony, its first. The Academy added it so pop acts working in dance would stop crowding out dedicated dance artists.
