Anugerah Industri Muzik

Anugerah Industri Muzik (literally: "Music Industry Award"), commonly known by the acronym AIM, is an award ceremony which celebrates the Malaysian music industry. The award is organized by the Recording Industry Association of Malaysia (RIM) and was first held on 15 December 1993. It is Malaysia's equivalent of the Grammy awards.[1][2] The award is not only focused on Malay-language music produced in Malaysia, but also English, Chinese, and Indian-language music. Separate awards were introduced for the latter two language music subcategories in 1999 and 2013 respectively. One of these, known as the AIM Chinese Music Awards, was held in 1999 and 2001 before encountering a twelve-year hiatus due to insufficient funds.[3])

The broadcaster of the award has been changed several times, varying between RTM, Media Prima, and Astro.

Since its introduction, the award has been held every year, with the exception of 1994 and 2015, due to changes in the month of the ceremony. The 2016–2018 edition of AIM was not held due to financial constraints.[4]

Categories
Afdlin Shauki hosting Anugerah Industri Muzik in 2009

During the first award ceremony in 1993, there were only ten categories. After the first award, the category for Best New Artist (Solo) was split into male and female categories, until 1999. Another category which existed until 1999 was Best New Artist (Group). Genre-specific best albums were introduced in 1995 and abolished in 2010 due to a declining number of albums released. The focus on Best Vocal Performance was changed from album to single in 2009. A Best Indonesian Album category was introduced in 1997, and was replaced by Best Malay Song Performed by a Foreign Artist in 2008 until 2013/2014. RIM has since added five new categories that recognize achievements by songs and music videos based on digital sales on all digital platforms. These new awards recognize significant contributions by record labels in the local music industry and provide opportunities to the public to be the jury through a new category, Best Malaysian Singer.[5]

Best Song

Since its inauguration, the award was only given to the writers (composers and lyricists) of the song, until the 2010–2011 edition, where the singer was decided to be among the recipients, hence they also received the trophy. Starting from the 2009 edition, the nominees of this category comprise the winners for Best Ethnic Pop Song, Best Hip Hop Song, Best Nasyid Song, Best Pop Song, and Best Rock Song. Beginning from 2012–2013 onward, the winner of the Best Local English Song was included in the Best Song nominee list.

Composer Azlan Abu Hassan is the current record holder for most wins, with four. In 2013–2014, the song "No More", a self-written song by singer SonaOne, became the first English-language song to be awarded this title.

Notes
  1. In 2011, the Best Song award was originally given to Penakut by Yuna. However, the announcement was later found out to be a technical error on behalf of the awards' official external auditor, Ernst & Young. The co-manager for the award, Rosmin Hashim, had explained that the winner of the Best Song award had to be selected from the most voted out of five song entries in each of four subcategories: Best Pop Song, Best Rock Song, Best Ethnic Pop Song, and Best Nasyid Song, in which Penakut did not win any of them. The award was later given instead to Sedetik Lebih by Anuar Zain.[9]
