The Star Awards for Top 10 Most Popular Female Artistes is an award presented since its inception in 1994.
History
Chen Liping, Chen Xiuhuan, Pan Lingling, Aileen Tan, and Zoe Tay were the five female recipients of the inaugural 10 Most Popular Artistes award. The winners were determined by a majority vote from the public via telephone and SMS text voting.
In 1994 and 1995, the Most Popular Actress award was also awarded to the female artiste who topped the votes. Tay won the award in both 1994 and 1995, making her the only recipient of this award.
Since 1997, the number of recipients for each category was expanded to ten and the award was renamed as Top 10 Most Popular Female Artistes.
In 2004, the All-Time Favourite Artiste was introduced. Artistes who had received ten prior Star Awards for Top 10 Most Popular Male / Female Artistes were automatically conferred the title, and were removed from the nomination pool permanently. A total of 19 female artistes have since achieved this status and are no longer eligible to be nominated.
In 2023, the Most Popular Rising Stars award was introduced for artistes who have been in the entertainment industry for five years or less. A win in this category will also count towards the overall Top 10 tally.
Eligibility
Initially, only full-time Mediacorp actresses were eligible to be nominated. In 1997, a rule change allowed artistes from the variety sector to contest for the award.
In 2018, the rules were changed again to allow contracted, project-based and/or non-Mediacorp artistes to be nominated.
Recipients Since its inception, the award saw a total of female artistes being nominated, of which 53 artistes had won at least one award, and 19 artistes had been conferred the All-Time Favourite Artiste. Chen Biyu, Chen Ning, Paige Chua, Gao Mei Gui, Hong Ling, Tasha Low, Chantalle Ng, Denise Camillia Tan, Hazelle Teo and Ya Hui are the most recent winners in the Top 10 Most Popular Female Artistes category.
Juin Teh is the most recent winner in the Most Popular Rising Stars category.
