Star Awards for Top 10 Most Popular Male Artistes

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. 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 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. 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 ==
