Japan Record Award for Best New Artist

The MTV Video Music Award for Best New Artist have been given out since the first annual MTV Video Music Awards in 1984.
 From then to 2006, the award was named Best New Artist in a Video.
 In 2007 its name was changed to Best New Artist, as the category underwent a format change to award the artist's body of work for the full year rather than a specific video.
 For the 2008 ceremony, though, while the award retained its 2007 name, it returned to the format of awarding a specific video rather than the artist's full body of work.
 The category was later renamed Artist to Watch through 2013 to 2015 while still keeping the format of an award going to a certain video.
The Grammy Award for Best New Artist has been awarded since 1959.
 Years reflect the year in which the Grammy Awards were handed out, for records released in the previous year.
 The award was not presented in 1967.
 The official guidelines are as follows: "For a new artist who releases, during the Eligibility Year, the first recording which establishes the public identity of that artist."
 Note that this is not necessarily the first album released by an artist.
