The Latin Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Album is an honor presented annually at the Latin Grammy Awards, a ceremony that recognizes excellence and creates a wider awareness of cultural diversity and contributions of Latin recording artists, in the United States and internationally.[1] The award is given to a female performer for albums containing at least 51% of new recordings of the pop genre.[2] Since its inception, the award category has had several name changes. In 2000 was known as Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, being awarded for singles or tracks. The following year onwards the award for Best Female Pop Vocal Album was presented.[3]

The award has been presented to singers originating from Canada, Colombia, Italy, Puerto Rico, Spain, and the United States. The award for Female Pop Vocal Performance was earned by Colombian singer-songwriter Shakira for the song "Ojos Así".[4] Shakira was also awarded Female Pop Vocal Album in 2006 for Fijación Oral Vol. 1, which also received the Latin Grammy for Album of the Year.[5] In 2001, the award winners were announced at a press conference, since the 2nd Latin Grammy Awards were scheduled to take place on September 11, 2001. Christina Aguilera received the award for her first Spanish language album Mi Reflejo.[6]

Italian performer Laura Pausini has received the most awards in this category with three accolades. Spanish singer Rosario Flores holds the record for most nominations with five, which resulted in two awards. Ednita Nazario and Thalía share the record for most nominations without a win, with three each. In 2010, the award was given to Canadian performer Nelly Furtado with her album Mi Plan.[7]
