MTV Video Music Award for Best Pop Video

Template:Short description Template:Infobox award The MTV Video Music Award for Best Pop was first given out in Template:Mtvvma under the name of Best Pop Video, as MTV began to put several teen pop acts in heavy rotation. Nominations, however, were not just limited to pop acts, as dance, R&B, pop/rock, and reggaeton artists have also received nominations throughout the award's history.

In Template:Mtvvma, MTV eliminated this award along with all of the genre categories, but it returned in 2008.

In Template:Mtvvma, the word "Video" was removed from the names of all genre categories, leaving this award with its current name: Best Pop.

In 2024, the nominees were based on the artists, instead of music videos.

Britney Spears, Taylor Swift, and Ariana Grande have received the most wins in this category, winning three awards each. NSYNC, Spears, and Swift are the only acts to win the award for two consecutive years. Grande has received the most nominations in this category with eight.
