The category was introduced in 1994, at the 1st Star Awards ceremony; Chew Chor Meng, Li Nanxing, Terence Cao, Sean Say, and Desmond Sim received the award as the Top 5 Most Popular Male Artistes award and it is given in honour of Mediacorp male artistes who were deemed as the top five most popular among the television audience. The winners are determined and selected by a majority vote from the public via telephone or online voting . Between 1994 and 1996, only the top five male artistes were given the award. From 1997 onwards, the award winners were increased from five to ten and hence the award was renamed as Top 10 Most Popular Male Artistes. In 2017, the award nominees were increased from 20 to 24, where four artistes will be eliminated after the prelude shows while the other 20 continue to compete in the category the week up to the main presentation.
Before 1997, only Mediacorp actors were eligible to be nominated for the award. This rule was removed in 1997 onwards to allow the Mediacorp male artistes from the variety sector to contest for the award.
Between 1994 and 1995, the Most Popular Male Artiste award was also awarded. It was a separate award from the Top 5 Most Popular Male Artistes award and was given out to the male artiste who topped the votes of the latter award. Li Nanxing and Chen Hanwei were the recipients of this award in 1994 and 1995, respectively.
Since its inception, the award has been given to 50 male artistes. Shaun Chen, Chen Shucheng, Dennis Chew, Dasmond Koh, Pierre Png, Pornsak, Desmond Tan, Romeo Tan, Zheng Geping, and Zhu Houren are the most recent winners in this category.
Since the ceremony held in 2019, Dennis Chew and Zheng Geping remain as the only male artistes to have the most wins without achieving the All-Time Favourite Artiste award, with nine. In addition, Terence Cao has been nominated on 21 occasions, more than any other male artiste. Richard Low holds the record for the most nominations without a win, with 12.
11 male artistes have received the award for ten times and were given the All-Time Favourite Artiste award, and are no longer eligible for the running of the award. The award was not presented to Dasmond Koh in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it will be presented to him in 2021.
