New Zealand Music Award for Radio Airplay Record of the Year

Stan Walker has won three times, with "Black Box" (2010), "Choose You" (2011) and "Take It Easy" (2013).
Opshop's "Maybe" won the title of Airplay Record of the Year in 2008.

The New Zealand Music Award for Airplay Record of the Year is a New Zealand Music Award presented annually to songs by local artists that receive high airplay. It was first presented in 2004 to Goldenhorse for "Maybe Tomorrow". 2004 was the only occasion that nominees were announced for the award; Bic Runga's "Listening for the Weather" and Carly Binding's "We Kissed" made the shortlist.[1] No award was presented in 2005, but in 2006 it was reintroduced, with The Feelers claiming it for their single "Stand Up". Brooke Fraser's "Deciphering Me" followed in 2007, while Opshop won the award in 2008 with "Maybe". In 2009, "Always on My Mind", by Tiki Taane, was awarded the title. Stan Walker won the award two years in a row — in 2010 with "Black Box" and in 2011 with "Choose You", and a third time with "Take It Easy" in 2013.
